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

    They’re likely related in that they’re using a similar teaching method of having the student image that they’re the turtle and then reason how their instructions would affect the outcome. It’s easier for kids to learn that way than to try to explain the high level concepts, and later once they have the intuition of what a loop is, or a select statement, they can learn the more abstract terms.
