Logo or similar level things were all I had in mind. Programming need
not be writing a polished application. I think there's a lot of
valuable things to learn (logic, arithmetic, geometry, ...) and a lot
of satisfaction to be had,  in doing quite simple things.

It's striking to me how many of my generation learned to program on
machines at home in the 80s, and how few younger people I meet have.

As to the low-decile school, it's even more important to provide
access to these things which might not be available at home.
