It was fairly useless. They drag around little action-icons into a list to make an animated character move around and do stuff. My 11-year-old was bored stiff.&lt;p&gt;Edit: PS the Apple Store employee who ran this thing (he was a very nice guy) admitted he had zero coding experience himself</text></comment>

It was really well done and they taught the kids all about making movies, how to edit, and at the end they had a big screening of all the movies the kids in the class made for all the parents. She even got a nice apple t shirt and  usb keychain.&lt;p&gt;Glad to see they are now expanding it to coding.</text></comment>
