Programming for Kids
A curated list of awesome resources for teaching kids programming across different age groups and skill levels.
What is Programming for Kids?
Awesome Programming for Kids is a curated, open‑source list of resources specifically aimed at teaching programming and computational thinking to children. It organizes educational tools, games, apps, robots, books, and tutorials by age group—from pre‑literate to upper elementary—to help parents, teachers, and mentors find age‑appropriate starting points. The project solves the problem of discovering high‑quality, engaging programming materials for young learners in a scattered landscape.
Parents, educators, librarians, coding club mentors, and anyone involved in introducing children (roughly ages 4‑12) to programming concepts. It is especially useful for those seeking structured, vetted resources beyond a simple web search.
Developers and educators choose this list because it is meticulously curated, age‑segmented, and includes a wide variety of formats—from unplugged games to robot kits—all in one place. Its open‑source, community‑driven nature ensures it stays updated with new and effective tools, saving time and providing trusted recommendations.
