Kids & Programming


The Little Coder’s Predicament ...
Okay, then, children of the modern age (where we live in a world so tied together with wires that Pangaea ain’t goin’ nowhere!), you tell me if this is a predicament or not.
...


Coding Just Isn’t Accessible
... We have no shortage of new languages, but they become increasingly distanced from the populace.  ...

So... Which languages and tools are best?

Check out this article: Computer Programming Resources for Kids


Hackety Hack, Kids Ruby, Logo, ScratchNetLogo, and more!


 

I'd add Blockly for anyone (everyone) and Bootstrap for middle schoolers, but the resources at code.org, Khan Academy's programming section, and CodeAcademy.com  are essential to anyone's list who wants to learn more about programming or help others to learn programming.
