Using Java for primary programming education is challenging, however, due to the complexity of the language and existing IDEs. Instead of teaching \u201ctoy\u201d languages at the beginning, we need the right interactive tools for teaching Java. This BoF session discusses the present and the future of the upcoming JGrounds app and related projects such as <a href=\"http:\/\/vrl-studio.mihosoft.eu\">VRL-Studio<\/a>. The JGrounds app features interesting story-based introductions to various topics. Everybody is welcome to participate! <strong>We need coders, artists and teachers.
