Tutorials teach you to copy. BuildBox teaches you to build.

Most kids 8–14 stall out watching video after video without ever finishing their own game. BuildBox starts from a finished Scratch project so they can open it, poke around, break it, and rebuild it. Scratch is free. No extra hardware. No other languages yet.
