How to teach computers to children

I think that one of the most important things that you can do for the Future of your children it is to explain them how to program.

In order to do this, there are 3 beautifully (and free tools) to use:
- Scratch (One of the first tools to use).
- App inventor (If you can develop simple Android applications).
- Makecode (If you want to develop something that executes on embedded hardware).

I like specially makecode because you can see your programs working on a real device, like Adafruit Circuit Playground Express.

This is a "cheap" card, where you can include different programs developed using blocks, that integrate sensors, and controls of leds.

To program this card, it is as easy as having a USB cable and a computer with Chrome to access to the development platform.

As an example of what you can do using this tools, it is shown on this short youtube video:
