Beginning Programming for Kids

Coding is gaining momentum as a subject that every student should learn; in fact, 60% of teachers and 62% of principals believe that programming courses should be required. But how do you introduce your child to programming? Read on to feel confident with beginning programming for kids.

Beginner Scratch Exercises

Scratch is an incredible program from MIT that can help kids in grades 2-5 learn how to code. However, the program can be a bit confusing at first, so it is helpful for kids to have simple projects to complete as they learn the ins and outs of the platform. For that reason, we’ve compiled some fun Scratch exercises for kids that will help them to master Scratch and be equipped to tackle more advanced projects in the future.
