Advice on suitable Mac software for 11 YO

Post Reply New Topic

My 11 year old daughter loves using various software on our apple mac. She likes using Photoshop in particular and has been talking about different PlayStation games and creating levels. She said she would like to be able to do this but is not sure what software to use ':shrug:'. It would need to be mac compatible and suitable for her age. She picks IT stuff up very quickly so I would like to get something to help her develop this interest.

Can anyone advise me?
Thanks
Oh, and a Merry Christmas and Peaceful New Year ':santa:'

I'm not sure if this is what you are asking for, but here is something really cool for kids...

It is free and works on Macs!

The info says;

Alice is a modern programming environment designed to be a student's first exposure to object-oriented programming. It allows students to learn basic computer science while creating animated movies, simple video games, where students control the behavior of 3D objects and characters in a virtual world.

Well, for game creation in general, ill say Scratch. I'm currently doing much different stuff, but this was a pretty cool program, I highly recommend it!
