I just started playing around with scratch, which lets you get stuff running easily without hardware headaches.
Simple stuff like making a sprite move or make noise in response to keypresses is pretty cool for little kids. And me.
The other think I like about it is the format. "Code" still looks like code, with nested for/if statements.
It can be slow ans it breaks down for medium to complex stuff, but making crappy flash games is easy. And they apparently have a decent version for dealing with NXT robots...
