My kids started with 'beebots' in their first year. This is simple logic - go forward 1 space, left 1 space, etc.

My oldest child is still in primary and they have a lego robotics club- they build simple robots and do simple programming. He does well at maths and is a lego wiz so has been allowed to join the club 3 years early.

I've been thinking about where to start and they love minecraft, so it makes sense to start there I think. I'll check out some of your other links as well.

There are minecraft mods where you programme bots to do tasks for you - I like the sound of it but haven't tried it with my kids yet; it was on HN a week or two ago.
