Scratch for Kids
Scratch is the easiest way for children to start coding. These free step-by-step workshops build real games in Scratch, right in the browser. There is nothing to install and no account is needed to begin.
Stardust says: start with one small game you can play today. Pick the Catch game, follow the steps, and you have made something real.
