Little Wizard

Little Wizard is a development environment for children. It is intended to be used by primary school children to learn about the main elements of real computer languages. Using only the mouse, children can explore programming concepts such as variables, expressions, loops, conditions, and logical blocks. Every element of the language is represented by an intuitive icon, making it easy to learn. Little Wizard works under Linux and Windows 2000/XP.

On this website, you will find information about downloading, installing and using the development environment. You will also be able to get the latest versions of Little Wizard here. For a more detailed explaination of this project, please see the brief
