Woohoo! Would super appreciate it if you can send this out to the Coder Dojo list. 

Here's a blurb: 
Hopscotch is an iPad-native visual programming language. Kids can use the friendly touch-screen interface to create their own games and apps. Most programming languages have complicated syntax rules, making them hard for kids to grasp.  With Hopscotch, kids can drag and drop blocks of code to build projects with zero typing. It's like legos for software--part tool, part toy, part learning experience.  Not only will kids grasp the fundamentals of computer science, they'll also gain valuable algorithmic thinking and problem solving skills.  Appropriate for ages 8 and up.
