Can kids under 10 be possibly taught coding, without even mentioning the word syntax to them ??

    BASIC. Get a C64 emulator and some old kids books that have examples. Watch them go wild just writing "10 PRINT ‘{sibling_name} SUCKS’ / 20 GOTO 10 "

      I worked in a tech museum with C64s. One day a kid walked by. After showing them the BASICs (heh) they wrote a whole game with a storyline you could go through making decisions.
