I'm thinking of starting a local group for kids (8-12 yo) to learn programming using Scratch.

Do you have any pointers that I might consider?

For reference, I'm a senior developer and architect, the programming part will probably be the easiest of it all.

There's a minecraft mod called ComputerCraft Edu which is lovely and works on older versions of Minecraft if you're willing to set that up!

When they "get" it, it also has Lua in addition the the graphical scratch nodes
