> 24 hourMy 8 year old son said MOM GIVE THIS 5 STARS for sure. I was a bit worried to try this for him as it is for 11+, but I was super happy to find that he does just fine with it. My husband helped him with setting up a folder on the desktop to and the initial sign in, but other than that we just let him go through it by himself. He says it is easy to understand instructions and a lot of fun. This generation is total tech savvy and I am thankful there are things out their to teach the kids while they are young and so able to soak it all in.

> 24 hourI purchased this for my 10 year old nephew. After assisting him with the initial set-up, he has manage to navigate the program on his own. It is very engaging and easy to follow along for a beginner as he has no other experience with coding. It does require internet for use, so this is definitely better as a home project or for use in areas with wifi access. He has easily navigated the program lessons, but there is also live chat assistance when needed. All-in-all a good buy with hours of educational entertainment available.

> 24 hourWe put together her computer -- and it didnt work. I went through a lot of testing and deduction to figure out the problem. Its raspberry pi based, which requires an SD card with bootup software. Fortunately I had another raspberry pi in the house already, with working software. Through trial and error, discovered the SD card they sent her isnt functioning.

> 24 hourThe course is easy to follow, explicit instructions broken down into step by step. I am taking the course with my 13 year old son and I am just us excited. After you finish a lesson you cant wait to start the next. This is a great course for children or first time users of Java. It also come with comes with a free 8 gig usb flash drive. Totally recommended.

> 24 hourI picked this software up for my 18 year old daughter. Shes a freshman in a college graphic art degree. She loves learning code. She told me this program was confusing to her, but added that she already knew how to write HTML which is part of the Javascript in this program. So trying to run through it already knowing how to do it was confusing to her. So I signed in and gave it a whirl. I was confused at first until I understood how the program works. Its a little dated in its layout - for instance once you finish a lesson you have to scroll all the way back up to the top to click on the next lesson. It would be nice to have a smoother interface - but Im here to review the content. And the couple of lessons I did were very clear and easy to follow. For me - Im not sure a younger child would follow as easily but then again, if theyre into this stuff, theyll figure it out. In addition to the written lesson theres a video overview to help you our on each lesson as well.

> 24 hourEasy to setup and get going right out of the box; theres no sys requirements or downloads. I love the easy to follow and friendly video demos. The material and delivery is a little dry, but the fun part is actually designing a game. I also like that there was real time chat available (Mon-Fri) I think its a great way to inspire and motivate my kiddos and me. Now I want to learn how to code too!
