  • Codecademy: Learn to code interactively, for free, on the web.
  • CodinGame: Play video games using code, learn programming in more than 20 programming languages
  • MIT OpenCourseWare: MIT OpenCourseWare (OCW) is a web-based publication of virtually all MIT course content. OCW is open and available to the world and is a permanent MIT activity.

Young Beginners

  • Angry Birds Fun Learning: Learn to code the fun way! Discover fun coding apps and courses for various difficulty levels, including Angry Birds themed challenges for younger coders.
  • Scratch: With Scratch, you can program your own interactive stories, games, and animations — and share your creations with others in the online community. Primarily designed for 8 to 16 year olds, available in a variety of languages, can be used online or offline with the Scratch editor on Mac, Windows and Linux computers. Teachers should visit ScratchED, an online community where Scratch educators share stories, exchange resources, ask questions, and find people.
  • Hopscotch: iPad app recommended for kids ages 8 and above with simple, intuitive building blocks that can be used to create games, animations and apps in a colorful, interactive environment. Even younger coders can also try the Daisy the Dinosaur app.
  • ScratchJr: ScratchJr is an introductory programming language that enables young children (ages 5 to 7) to create their own interactive stories and games. ScratchJr was inspired by Scratch, but redesigned the interface and programming language to make them developmentally appropriate for younger children. Currently available as an iPad app, with an Android version scheduled to be released later in 2014, and a web-based version in 2015.
  • CoderDojo: The CoderDojo website features a variety of information for parents, kids and volunteers looking to start their own coding club for children. Part of the website is also a list of resources that can be used to teach a variety of programming languages to different age groups.
  • RoboMind Academy: By programming a virtual robot, the student is introduced to logic, automation and technology. Available as an online educator-friendly platform that can be used with students aged 8 years or older. A good start is the Hour of Code Tutorial.
  • Run Marco!: an adventure game for kids that teaches the basic of coding. Available as a browser game and an Android app, already translated in 13 European languages (more coming soon).
  • Pocket Code: An Android app that allows you to create your own games, animations, interactive music videos, and other kinds of apps, directly on your phone or tablet. An easy way to get started is the Skydiving Steve hour of code tutorial.
  • LightBot: A programming puzzle, where you guide your LightBot and light up all the blue squares using programming.
  • Kodu: Kodu lets kids create games via a simple visual programming language. Kodu can be used to teach creativity, problem solving, storytelling, as well as programming. Available for Windows computers.
  • http://www.tinytap.it/ Create – Add an interactive layer to any slide in your Tiny App. Design your slides by taking photos, adding stickers, or importing existing presentations!
  • http://snap.berkeley.edu/ Snap! (formerly BYOB) is a visual, drag-and-drop programming language. It is an extended reimplementation of Scratch (a project of the Lifelong Kindergarten Group at the MIT Media Lab) that allows you to Build Your Own Blocks. It also features first class lists, first class procedures, and continuations. These added capabilities make it suitable for a serious introduction to computer science for high school or college students.

MIT App Inventor

MIT App Inventor is a blocks-based programming tool that allows everyone, even novices, to start programming and build fully functional apps for Android devices. Newcomers to App Inventor can have their first app up and running in an hour or less, and can program more complex apps in significantly less time than with more traditional, text-based languages.
