 Damien,

 The whole tutorial is brand new, so the best age is still to be determined.

 I used the RoboLab slides to good effect with the two fourth grade (9-10 yrs) teams I mentored as they prepared for a school FLL-like event in May.

 We spent about three sessions going through the basics of turns/distance and then developing the shape programs in RoboLab, the required software for the competition.

 The NXT-G slides are new as of today - during the training time I spoke and used a white board with the kids to get the points across in addition to the spreadsheet and the RoboLab screenshots.

 I'm still not sure all the kids really "got it," but I think learning by imitation can be a decent first step towards comprehension - exposure to the concepts, then concept execution.

 Hopefully this will be a useful tool.

 All my best,  Craig
