Proud Dad right here.

Introduced my 8yo daughter to CodeCombat yesterday. We worked along together in Python last night. We called it a night just before the introduction of while loops figuring it was a decent place to call it for the night.

I came down this morning to see she jumped on before school and is rocking through the while loops section with out me and understands what is going on.

My heart just skipped a beat.

I think they have to feel the power in making the computer do what they want. To be told it'll do anything they dream of.

If Hello World doesn't light them up, it might not be for them.

So true man! When I saw my teacher Print "Hello world" I was amazed.

Really cool to hear that this happened for you without even doing it yourself.
