Coding for Kids · Best for ages 6-10, no prior coding experience needed.
Scratch & Scratch Jr
Your child's first step into coding - building games, stories, and animations with colorful drag-and-drop blocks.
Scratch was created by the MIT Media Lab and has grown into the world's most popular coding community for kids - more than 20 million people built a Scratch project in the past year alone. Instead of typing lines of code, children snap together colorful blocks to build animations, interactive stories, and simple games, seeing the result the instant they build it.
What your child will learn
- Sequencing, loops, and events using drag-and-drop blocks
- Building animated stories, simple games, and interactive projects
- Early problem-solving and computational thinking
- Debugging - fixing a project when it doesn't behave as expected
Why Scratch & Scratch Jr matters
Scratch was designed to teach the same thinking real programmers use - breaking a big idea into small, logical steps - without the frustration of syntax errors. Because everything is visual and immediate, a child sees the effect of every block right away, which keeps motivation high while the underlying concepts (sequencing, loops, conditionals, variables) are exactly the ones they'll meet again in every text-based language later.
