Junior Block Coder

Block Coding introduces coding concepts and thinking skills in a visual format that builds a strong foundation that supports learning in other programming languages.

Block coding makes programming more accessible for children with little or no coding experience. It is less intimidating than text-based programming and coders with little experience are less likely to make mistakes, these can occur easily when working with text-based coding – where even the smallest mis-type can result in the coded project failing.

Through using the visual coding tools found in this collection of block coding websites, children can develop understanding of how coding works – generally in the context of fun game development or digital animation. Many of these tools also expose children to the computational thinking that’s important for successful coding.
