My team has been doing Labview for the past 5 years and we love it. I find it is much easy to teach kid and the intimidation factor is much lower since all you are doing is drawing lines.
Over the past couple years we have been developing a cheap min Labview robots to help teach the kids. We found that if each kid has there own little robot they learn a lot faster. We also made a youtube series so they can take the robot home and learn to code. So far we have had great success.
We have are min bot release video her if anyone is interested
