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.

Thank you for your message and your concerns!

I'm sorry for your experiences, it must have been rough.

Thank you for the advice and if you're cool with sharing your email, I'll be happy to ask you for more information when the time comes! I'm not UK based but I'm planning to visit London next year or so, so we might go grab some coffee then!
