This past week I had a great time teaching my 9-year-old son Alex and 9 of his friends computer programming in my home.  I used Kodu Game Lab and Small Basic, two free tools created for kids to learn programming. I wrote a series of blog posts about it on my personal site Charette.com:

Has anyone else had an experience teaching programming at home?  Please share it.
