Which is the best platform to teach kids python? - Angelamaria - Aug-21-2020

Hi,

My kid is 7 years old and he is interested in coding. Now I am looking for an online coding platform to teach him coding? Can someone please suggest me which would be the best one?

You should search around online for websites specfically targeted towards kids. Like this one. kidscancode

Kids would probably learn better visually (videos) rather than books and text.

7 is pretty young. I loved learning from kidscancode, but his pygame stuff is not really suited to pure beginners.

That said, video would be the way to go, you just might have to do the first projects along with them.

I think maybe a choose your own adventure would be a good start. They can add and change it. Later they can put in enemies, magic, farts(because they are 7! lol) and learn things step by step and add them to their game.
