Do we need a new beginning programming language? My answer is “yes”, and the more programming languages and tools we have to introduce programming to kids, adults and everyone else, the better.

In a one-week camp, the youngest kids learn the fundamentals of Scratch, the coding language for kids created by developers at MIT.

These coding books are a great way to introduce your kids to programming and STEM fields.

Scratch is quite literally the only programming “game” my kids will use again and again, and it’s an amazing introduction for kids as young as pre-school age.

The Osmo Genius Kit engages kids with thoughtful coding activities. My kids and I tested three new Osmo kits and found them fun and easy to use.

For younger kids, the push is more organic among parents looking beyond math tutors or dance lessons to enhance their child’s development.
