Coding for kids and teenshelps improve their logical thinking, critical thinking, problem-solving skills, creativity, mathematics and writing skills and also gives them valuable skills in life and at the workplace. Coding provides a competitive advantage when applying to colleges, internships, and jobs. In addition, basic programming knowledge can change how kids and teens interact daily with the technologies they use. It’s a basic literacy–one we can’t afford to overlook.

Our coding courses for kids and teens have been developed so that a complete beginner can follow along without any trouble. With technology increasingly prevalent across so many industries, even basic coding knowledge can help kids and teens regardless of the career they ultimately decide to pursue.

Kids can start learning to code as early as 5-6 years old. When kids learn to code, it’s typically done under the guidance of a game. This makes the process fun and engaging while the kids are still learning a new skill. Our highly qualified Computer Science teachers at Codingal break the complex concepts into small digestible chunks for your child. Kids who learn to code when they’re young can set themselves up for a lifetime of opportunities for success.

Codingal currently offers live online coding classes for kids and teens. Our coding courses include Scratch Programming, Python for kids and teens, AI and Machine Learning, App Development, Web Development, Game Development, Data Science for kids, and many other courses for Grade 1-12 students from age 5 years to age 17 years.

A key aspect of our coding courses for kids and teens is keeping parents informed on what happens during the online coding class. We conduct the first Parent Teacher Meeting(PTM) after the 6th session, and the second meeting is conducted after the 12th session. As the course progresses, the PTM happens after every 12th session. Parents receive progress reports after every Parent Teacher Meeting that indicate what students have done during their classes and have links to their projects. Besides regular email updates on the kid's progress, parents and teachers are welcome to audit a current class or review recorded sessions of completed classes.

There is no shortage of websites and platforms that offer free access to resources to teach coding to kids and teens. However, every child learns differently and at a different pace, and guided learning is a far more effective method for teaching kids to code. Coding is a specialized subject and Coding instructors with Computer Science background are best suited to teach it in a live format. Your child will develop interest in coding with right guidance from the teachers. You can try a free lesson with Codingal to experience the magical world of coding.

There are quite a few games that kids can learn coding from, like Minecraft, Code Monster, RoboZZle, Blockly Games, etc. are some of the popular ones.

Many apps make coding fun and interactive for young children. Codingal, Scratch, Blockly, MIT App Inventor are suitable for those just starting. Intermediate coders who want to build an app or website can check out Codingal, CodeCombat, Stencyl, and Code.org. Advanced coders can also participate in coding competitions and hackathons organized by IOI, Codeforces, and Codingal.
