I think that Walter Bender's Turtle Art has an even lower threshold. You can snap together blocks representing turtle commands, and then use one of the Python-programmable blocks to add a single Python expression or call a Python program from a file. I have, for example, a graphing session in which a fixed TA program draws the coordinate axes, and then graphs whatever function the user has inserted in the programmable block. We have such environments in Sugar for Python, Logo, and Smalltalk. Your environment looks ideal for the next step up. Would you like to get together on some lessons in math, programming, and Computer Science? -- Silent Thunder (默雷/धर्ममेघशब्दगर्ज/دھرممیگھشبدگر ج) is my name And Children are my nation.
