drag and drop programming

MIT has developed a drag & drop programming language to teach
KIDS!

The Lifelong Kindergarten Group at MIT decided to create a programming
program for kids. "Scratch"is a free program that allows kids to
program their own games, stories and animations. They can then share
these online with other users.
The point of the program, which is specifically designed for children
age 8to 16, is to help young people to "think creatively, reason
systematically, and work collaboratively." MIT sees these as essential
skillsin today's world.
Scratch has millions of users in homes, schools, community centers,
etc. Considering the value of knowing how to code in our modern world,
Scratch could potentially give children who use it a huge advantage as
they grow up.
It is used in more than 150 countries and is available in40 languages.
It is used in many different schools, many different grade levels and
across disciplines, such as math, language arts and social studies
