This is actually my first time looking into the platform. It's interesting to have the ability to peek into the "code". Though I initially felt I agreed with an earlier comment in the chain, "just start with something real", I see my own path with Lego's NZXT visual programming language in Scratch. The visual element seemed to help me build a mental model much better than lines of code, at the start.

I left it up on 18 for others to try and break. Thanks for sharing.
