Programs/Games/Websites for a 7 year old to start learning how to code
I have a 7 yr old boy that has a real interest in technology. He's keen to learn how to program. Have you seen a great learning program/game/platform that I can use to get him introduced to the core concepts? Thank you!
- kashfi 6y agoFor a seven-year-old? MIT's Scratch: https://scratch.mit.edu/ https://scratch.mit.edu/ Once they are comfortable with scratch you can get them a Raspberry Pi and develop hardware-software projects depending on their interest. Knowing Scratch also helps to get them into game development. Lastly, after getting Scratch you can get the kid a Lego Mindstorms kit and build robots, musical intruments, etc.
- seoulbran 6y agoAwesome. Was just told that Lego Mindstorms is the way to go as well. I'll start with scratch and we'll go from there. Thank you!
- tmaly 6y agoI second Scratch. My daughter and I have been using it since 5. I taught a quick intro course to it at her school in December. Here are the intro lessons I taught http://nextlesson.com/homeschooling-ideas-learn-programming/ http://nextlesson.com/homeschooling-ideas-learn-programming/
