| Apr 25, 2022 at 23:49 | comment | added | Kovy Jacob | I would recommend getting her started on the python programming language. It has a cool module called 'turtle' (actually very simillliar to the one you are describing). It basically pops up a little canvas on the screen, and you give it commands like left(90), forward(12), shape('turtle'), speed('10'), etc. Its cool because it replicates a basic robot, but she can use it to learn more complicated programming techniques. If you are interested, I can write some basic python turtle scripts you can play around with, to teach her the basics. | |

| Apr 13, 2022 at 14:24 | comment | added | user4574 | The VEX IQ robotics systems are pretty good for children 2nd grade and up. It offers both text-based (C++ or python) or graphical (block) programming. The child can write fully autonomous programs, use a wireless X-Box-like controller to send commands to the robot, or some combination of those two. The child can build the robot from instructions or make their own using the parts in the kit. It's a very nice system with lots of learning opportunities in both programming and mechanical design. VEX robotics also holds competitions worldwide that the child can compete in if they so choose. | |
