Has anyone used the program Alice.org for teaching computer programming with younger kids, my DD is 6yo?

If you're interested in this kind of thing, there are many platforms that have been adapted from the collaborative/cooperative/game model that fuels Alice.

This is something that my DD14 worked on this past summer-- I don't know that their 'game' has been made public yet. If you are interested, I will ask her, though.

They were using it as a tool to investigate the range of responses/approaches used by mostly-naive learners, obviously in order to teach programming skills more effectively to a wider range of personalities and problem-solving styles.
