Is there something out there like "Python for kids" which would explain *basic* programming concepts in a way which is accessible and entertaining for kids aged 10-14 (that about where her brain is right now) and which would allow them to "play around" and have fun solving small problems?
I don't know about kid's tutorials, but I can recommend that you try the turtle module. It's great for kids. It gives really good immediate feedback, You can start out using it interactively:
import turtle turtle.forward(100) turtle.left(90) turtle.forward(100) turtle.left(90) turtle.forward(100) turtle.left(90) turtle.forward(100) turtle.left(90)
Aaarrrrggggghhh. I've been using python on and off for six years now, and I didn't even know that it had a turtle module. :)
Turtle was the first experience I had with programming!
