Block programming is the best way for kids and first-time coders to learn how to program. It is great for kids ages 8 and all the way up to 16. Block coding is good for young kids because it is a drag-and-drop style and does not require much typing. However, it is just as useful for kids of any age because it teaches simple code concepts like “if” statements, “while” loops, or even how variables work. Block coding also encourages creativity because it is easy to pick up; kids will explore and show you what they can create!
