Ask HN: Research on Teaching Programming?

2 points| sturbes | 5 years ago

I’m helping some kids learn coding via Lego Mindstorms, and am shocked how complex the visual coding is, and how non transferable it is to “real” (text) coding. Are the mindstorms / Scratch based tools supported by research?

Have we seen good examples of UIs that start with text? Thanks!
