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.

When I was a kid Lego mindstorm was the shit but I don't know if Lego even sells that anymore. But my advice is find some robot kit with a building block scripting language.

Alternatively download unreal engine 4, learn how to use blueprints and show them how to make simple games, as that is another "building block" scripting language.

Edit: oh, not "from scratch", "using Scratch" haha oops. My bad.
