I'm a big fan of Scratch by MIT, a graphical programming environment for kids aged 8-11.
They recently ported it to HTML5, and then open sourced the entire thing.
Now, after a successful kickstarter the Scratch idea is available for younger kids and crucially it's for the iPad.
I'm excited about this - early stage tools like this are crucial for getting the next generation interested in tech. All power to them!
