Re:How do kids these days get started in programming? by graemeklass on Monday April 20, 2009 @12:56AM (#570232)
Depending on the age I would recommend Lego MindStorm. Not only does it develop 3D spatial skills (the robot) but it has a graphic user interface for programming it to move. It covers basics of if-then-else and loop logic. As they get more experienced they can program using the Visual Studio .NET toolbox kit
