Hi,
Today, the 10 year old son of a friend of mine, wrote me an email, asking me how to learn to program. I did some research and found code-monster (www.crunchzilla.com/code-monster) seems ideal. Only that the english abilities of most 10 year olds in switzerland are not up to this.
I asked the author of the system, if there is a way to translate the course. And indeed there is ...
If you would like to help translating this to german, and thus help more swiss (and german and austrian) kids get an early start with programming, please drop me a line. I will give you access to a google spread sheet with all the text that needs translating.
It is 520 paragraphs ...
cheers tobi
Perhaps I have the inverse problem of most swiss 10 year olds (my german may not be up to this :), but I can certainly try. I may ask you to proofread for grammar (auf dem Tisch, auf den TIsch, im Office, ins Office, what a joke for non-natives!).
groet, Pim

Hello Tobias
Back in the days¸ I seem to remember, that there was "Turtle" for learing how to code. And, indeed, on http://www.swisseduc.ch/informatik/turtles/, there's something.
But, yeah, since I'd like it, if my kids would have something good, once they are that age…, I'd be happy to translate a paragraph or ten ;)
Cheers, Alexander
