If you want a good stepping stone between visual programming and Java, check out mods like ComputerCraft [1] or OpenComputers [2]. They add simple computers into the game that can be programmed with Lua. There is also a version of ComputerCraft that has basic visual programming and a simplified Lua interface [3].

Great tip. ComputerCraftEdu looks really cool. I'll try it.

The greatest incentive it to let them use it in the server I've already created for them. They will love it!
