What is the best way to teach children to code?

Answer 1

Just Refer Them Here To Sololearn!!!👍🤗✌

Answer 2

I recently found this micro:bit thing to be pretty appealing to my daughter. You can use either JS or Python or Blocks to play with it. Also, you can stream the code instructions to it through BT on your mobile, via an app.

Answer 3

Something colourful and fun like Scratch (?).

I do think that children should hone their skills in logic and it's applications, instead of diving directly into 'coding'. Unless they begin to show genuine interest in typing code, it would be a good idea to take your time walking them in the right direction. As such, logic puzzles, games, or even chess would be a better introduction for children, if you're planning to get them into computer programming.

Answer 4

I agree with Hatsy Rei , personally don't think kids should be working with consoles, unless they like it, but if thier to young to understand what they want to do, its better to let them live while thier young, enjoy life, grow, play with paint , or do kid stuff and if they later on decide they want to code or work with consoles, well that's great news 💻 👆

Answer 5

See grasshoper in google play. It about JavaScript as you tagged.

Answer 6

As a kid, I saw my little friend having fun and making games with scratch.
But as a kid, I dwelt up with logo and qbasic.

Answer 7

I believe, as a kid, no kid would love working with consoles.. Lol
So, it'd be better and interesting for them to start with something easy like HTML, CSS which can produce some graphical outputs.

Answer 8

Try writting an awesome code with graphics and designs.
Since kids love colours and things that shine, write codes in web, CSS and Js then they will want to create their own stuff.
With the creativity of their minds teach them a little and boom their learning it.

That's how I taught my little sister.

Answer 9

SOLO LEARN❤❤

Answer 10

I think using robotics will make them more interested to code.. using an arduino may help for the basic of robotics

Answer 11

I would have them do Scratch or code.org, there pritty kid frendly.

Answer 12

Get them to know that that's how all of their electronic games are made that way and they can make games too!

Answer 13

Thank you all for your comments.

Answer 14

get them know me, it will be my pleasure to teach them coding

Answer 15

Scratch on a raspberry pi or similar cheap single board computer, where free and accessible documentation is available as well, I'd say...
