Debian Junior Programming packages

Guido van Robot Next Generation (GvRng) is a project developed by advanced high school students for use by their peers as a learning tool and precursor to the further study of programming with Python. It is a minimalistic programming language providing just enough syntax to help students learn the concepts of sequencing, conditional branching, looping and procedural abstraction.

It's biggest strength is that it permits this learning in an environment that combines the thrill of problem-solving with instant visual feedback. In short, it is an interactive, introductory programming language that is excellent for learning the basic concepts of programming, applicable in any high-level language.

The GvRng version replaces the old GvR program that used wxPython for the GUI.

KTurtle is an educational programming environment which uses the Logo programming language to make programming as easy and accessible as possible.

The user issues Logo language commands to control the "turtle", which draws on the canvas, making KTurtle suitable for teaching elementary mathematics, geometry and programming.

This package is part of the KDE 4 education module.

Little Wizard is created especially for primary school children. It allows to learn using main elements of present computer languages, including: variables, expressions, loops, conditions, logical blocks. Every element of language is represented by an intuitive icon. It allows program Little Wizard without using keyboard, only mouse.
