WoW what a great way to teach the kids and Yes I think its absolutely important that they learn this because it’s the future but I would also like to see an easy playful way to teach people that become older and who start having difficulty with learning .
Thanks for that delightful feedback! Personally I can not say too much about the elderly, but I do agree they should definitely not be forgotten! A major difference though is that they mostly need it to simply "keep up" with today's technology, whereas young people will actually need to live with it for the rest of their lives, and hopefully learn how to keep up themselves. However, I will keep this in mind, maybe I can write up some good resources for low-level learning for our senior generation :)
Thank you for your response very much appreciated and I was thinking about the age of 45-50 that has forgotten how to study because they stayed to long in one job and now have to start over
Oh thank you and yes I can use many resources especially low level for starters so I can start getting my kids involved ages 9 and 16 and i have to understand it as wel to bring the knowledge over to my kids
Well, first I would suggest to check out my introduction post on CoderDojo to give you an idea of these free clubs. If that might be something you are interested in you can search for one in your area on coderdojo.com. If you can't find any there are many more initiatives likes CodeClub, RailsGirls, etc.
If that doesn't seem like something you need or you can't find something nearby, I would suggest to get started with Scratch. This is a very low level program which children can use to easily put together games and animations. Instead of needing to write code, they can simply put code together like a puzzle.
You can find many resources on this in the open source library of CoderDojo: Kata
Same here, it's the exact reason I got into CoderDojo, so I can provide kids what I didn't have when I was that age. Although, you are never to old to learn!

Good Luck!
Thank you very much for the great tips I go check it all out this weekend
I wish someone had thought me how to program in school. I only had my first computer when I was like 16 or 17 or so...
kids these days.. ;)

Nope, not too old. But it is a lot easier when you start early.
That is very much true!
A good post. @seersalomon followedd
Thank @fantasticmonkey! I hope you will enjoy my future posts as well :)
Dat lijkt mij een geweldig initiatief.
