Pedro the Developer

  • Article

Lucido, a CRM developer now on a new team sends this nice Holiday update about his family.  :o)

Noble colleagues,

Some time ago some of Pedro’s colleagues doubted that games and anything that happens in a computer is man-made. (Pedro is my older son, 9 years old). In their concept, all software and games “just exist”. Pedro insisted that “my daddy writes games and other stuff for computers”, but his colleagues mocked him. So he wanted to learn to program to show his colleagues that he’s right.

I got the Scratch programming environment (https://scratch.mit.edu), taught him the rudiments of programming (if and loop) plus angles, random numbers and Cartesian geometry. I have never seen him so interested in learning something.

After 1 week, here’s the result: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKexbuyZgck

Thanks for your attention,

Lucidio

Very cool. Teaching kids to program should be fun like this.
