       Ask HN: Vetted homeschooling resources for kids (5-10) to learn
       coding?
        
       My wife and I are embarking on a year of the nomad lifestyle, and
       homeschooling our kids aged 7 and 9. They are both interested in
       learning about programming computers. There is a plethora of
       options, so I wanted to draw on the wisdom and experience of HN to
       highlight the best of what's out there.  What courses, apps,
       methods, have you found most worthwhile for introducing your kids
       to programming?
