Ask HN: Best resources to learn Python or JavaScript for children?

3 pointsby stevofolifeover 2 years ago
What are the best resources to learn computer science concepts or programming languages like Python and JavaScript?<p>I’m hoping to find suitable resources to share with my nephews and nieces who range from 5-10 yr old.

PyCharm has a built in learning module which works great for middle school-high school ages.<p>Edit: Also for visually showing concepts, you can’t beat <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pythontutor.com&#x2F;visualize.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pythontutor.com&#x2F;visualize.html</a>
