I liked reading your story, Jorge.

A Scratch course wouldn't have got my attention by itself either. It's so important that we meet our kids where they are, focusing on what they already love and finding the connection with technology. You see many kids stepping out now because they just feel coding is this last new thing they need to learn and they don't see the point.

We need to find ways to reach them and it seems you did it!

Almost 3 years have passed since your comment... Is she still engaged with it? Do you code together? :D

Sorry, i only saw your reply now
She likes to make stuff on Roblox and on Minecraft, which was the natural leap from Scratch, i think.
I don't know if she's gonna take it as a career, she became passionate about literature, drama, etc.
I tried, guys! haha
