Pico could be the best way of introducing JavaScript to a kid, which is one of the most (if not the most) popular languages as of 2023. If your kid has interest in computer science, this would be a great exposure to real life programming, but still in a very kids friendly environment. My son liked the course a lot and was impatiently waiting for every class in this course. He was very proud to show me a working computer game project that he completed on the last day of the course.

My child is new to coding and learned so much in just 1 hour. He showed me what he's able to create with the Pico platform they used in class and it was really cool! Wish I had something like this when I was growing up. We would definitely look to continue using the Pico platform so he can continue developing his coding skills.

My daughter has thoroughly enjoyed Pico. She's 11 and started the course with no experience in any kind of programming. Pico managed to keep her interested in the program by making the course fun by introducing tasks like creating games, programmatically drawing different shapes and colours, etc. My daughter now has a good grasp of basic concepts such as variables, functions and if-else statements. She'll be able to continue to more advanced topics now. Highly recommend Pico!
