Scotty Scratch Project — Learn Coding Concepts without Coding
The above is a Scratch project I did with my son's name. Scratch is a service from MIT (yes, the nerdy school) which teaches kids coding concepts. There's no coding involved. The user simply drags blocks into different configurations.
I had the letters of his name spin back and forth in different directions. I could have also added sound and many other effects. It's definitely worth looking into.
