Nice! As a child I was injured on a Friday the 13th in October and was amused that it happened on such an unlucky day. Now I know it was also a full moon!

Oh no! Some one should have warned you to watch out on such an unlucky day!

I love this. When editing Hands-On Start 3 with my seven year old, we tested the graphics chapter. Kids love playing with images on their iPad apps. Of course, it's a bit easier to do so with phone and tablet filters and other graphics APIs, but it was a nice way to show her what I do, and to show her that behind all of these apps is a mouthful of programming.

Of course with the WL, it's a whole lot less programming.

I've wanted to take her through EIWL, but maybe I'll wait till she's 8 too.

Frankly, I have trouble applying Table, so I applaud your efforts!

@David Ameneyro if you keep notes on your adventures through EIWL with your daughter, I'd love to work with you on a book project.

@David That is very inspiring. I have a son in the same age of your daughter and I have been slowly showing him some tricks to do with WL and W|A. Does your daughter fully understand that code? cause I am going much slower with my son and I am not sure if he can handle it if I go faster. Thank you for sharing this.

Ahmed, not to overly tout our new products, but you might be interested in picking up a copy of our new book, Hands-on Start to Wolfram Alpha Notebook Edition. It's targeted to bring people in from Wolfram Alpha into programming with a lot more natural language from Wolfram Alpha thrown in.

@David, what made you to choose Wolfram Language for this type of explorations, and also especially for your child education?
