It's very cool seeing the kid's excitement when they first see their code control the robot... even better seeing some kids just 'get it' and really dig into the code and the concepts! Brings a smile to my face every time I go!!
Superbly done - I'm happy for any language that gets kids into code, even (nnnngaaa) Java - I'm currently learning Android which is of course all Java... which means unlearning all those things I have in C# naturally...

As they say round where I'm from "Get in..."
