Hi all,

I discovered that one of the best way to introduce young coders to text based coding … in as little as 1 hour … is via mini type-in programs.

I put together a collection of 30 type-in programs that can be used as this:

Step 1️⃣. An educator or parent will print them on a piece of paper

Step 2️⃣. Kids will try to type-in the programs to see the effect

You can find the entire collection of programs at:

Thanks for sharing!

This reminds me @codeguppy, I asked recently [if you wanted](https://discourse.processing.org/t/zero-boilerplate-philosophy-an-important-ingredient-for-teaching-text-based-coding/19318/4) codeguppy [embeds enabled](https://discourse.processing.org/t/processing-web-sketch-embeds-on-this-forum/19097) on this forum.

Hi Jeremy @jeremydouglass .  
Sorry for the late replay. Yes. It will be great if you can enable embeds for [codeguppy.com](http://codeguppy.com)  
Thanks a lot!
