This is a (very) incomplete list of resources for teaching kids how to program.
| Date | Link | Notes | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| /2 Jun’17 | Code Club | Online courses for kids | ||
| Thonny | A simple Python IDE for beginners | |||
| May’16 | load81 | A Lua based programming environment for kids, similar to Codea. | ||
| Blockly | Google’s Scratch-like toolkit for visual programming. | |
Stencyl | A Haxe-based IDE that uses a similar approach to Scratch |
| Older | Scratch | The quintessential reference. The online version is, sadly, not as good as the original, and the iOS version is targeted at smaller children, so 6-8yos have little interest in them. | ||
| Code.org | Has a fair (but still very small) set of Portuguese language resources. | |||
| Codea | A Lua IDE for the iPad that has a cheaper “scratchpad” edition. | |||
| Thonny | A simple cross-platform Python IDE for beginners | |||
| Pythonista | Not really focused on kids, but it deserves a spot here. |
