anyone else tried the coding for kids in today's Times?

We've tried and failed, just couldn't get it to work. Sigh. Anyone managed to do it? Looks great and you can sign up for more free online tutorials into coding. But it's all descended into disappointment and bad moods in our house (mostly mine) and my 8-year old has now given up.

Don't know anything about it but if you're talking about computer coding there's a great website (free) called scratch

http://scratch.mit.edu/

Perfect and fun introduction to coding at any age
