I have taught my kids ages 5 and 10 some coding in ScratchJr/Scratch/MakeCode.

I also volunteered at the school to teach kids how to build their own robot from lego, servos, and microbits.

What I have found is that most younger kids are not as drawn to coding.

It is the hands on projects that keeps them interested.

For ScratchJr I did put out a 30 minute project based course on Udemy. It has a few students here and there. But what really works is when I sit down with a class and show them live how to build a project on Scratch Jr.
