Programs/Games/Websites for a 7 year old to start learning how to code

3 pointsby seoulbranalmost 5 years ago
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!

For a seven-year-old? MIT&#x27;s Scratch: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;scratch.mit.edu&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;scratch.mit.edu&#x2F;</a><p>Once they are comfortable with scratch you can get them a Raspberry Pi and develop hardware-software projects depending on their interest.<p>Knowing Scratch also helps to get them into game development.<p>Lastly, after getting Scratch you can get the kid a Lego Mindstorms kit and build robots, musical intruments, etc.
