More recently, in the seventies of the last century, programmers were bearded sages and almost no one had the idea of letting schoolchildren approach such a cool expensive technology. But with the ubiquity of computers in the late eighties, the first school computers appeared, on which only the most advanced high school students could write programs. Most parents in our time believe that programming is the lot of the elite, and do not even suspect that their 5-6 year old baby can already compose algorithms for performers and create the first programs. This is such a colorful, interesting and exciting process that children think they are playing, but in fact, at this moment they are gaining digital skills of the 21st century.
One of the best tools for introducing children to programming Scratch JR is a graphical environment for creating the first projects in the digital world.
Scratch JR works on most popular tablets, iPad, Android and even Kindle. You can also install Scratch JR on your laptop (both Mac and PC ).
The only difference between the computer version is that the main character is not a kitten, but a funny alien Tik. The main thing is to give the child a laptop with a touchpad for work, since preschoolers cannot cope with a mouse yet.

It's no secret that soon many professions will be replaced by artificial intelligence, and only creative, creative professions will stay with us for a long time.

Be sure to install Scratch JR and show it to the children, I'm sure they will quickly get used to it and start creative, and to make it a little easier for you, you can use my book, which has 16 project ideas for young programmers.
