Coding for Kids
Children can learn to code without special software, an account or a powerful computer. Start with blocks, move to real text code when they are ready, and build something they can play or share along the way. Everything here runs in a browser.
Stardust says: start with the blocks in Scratch, then move to real code when it clicks. One small project at a time is all it takes.
