  • scratch-www

    Standalone web client for Scratch

  • When I made workshops with colleagues for kids, we used several tools for them. Indeed Scratch is very nice and has a “junior” version, it is a good starter. You can also have a look on Logo, maybe a bit old. Greenfoot maybe, it is so “Javaly” however for teenagers or to make deeper dives in programming it could be interesting. And also Python, maybe more user friendly.

  • racket

    The Racket repository

  • How did I get to the bottom of the page and not ONE person has recommended racket?

  • InfluxDB
