Am I the only one who read this in Yoda's voice?

I started my daughters at 4. We would play in a Python interpreter as a group. The idea was not about teaching syntax but showing them that code == fun stuff. We have continued with that theme for a while. At 6 they started playing more with Python on their own and one of them did Hackety Hack for a week or so. They're 7 now and we've played with Arduino a little but including them adjusting parameters in the source. I continue to expose and encourage them, but not require them. I try to keep the time blocks small to keep their attention. I would rather leave them wanting more than feeling like they were forced to learn.

My 6 year old has been learning via http://hackety.com/

Let's see them invest some time and money into stopping SOPA. Making a statement is one thing, but money is speech these days and they can afford better lobbyists than we can.
