FREE coding resource for kids - Code.org is legit

Nov 28·1 min read

Been trying to get my 10yo interested in coding and finally found something that stuck. Code.org is completely free, has these cute little character games that teach actual logic, and my son did 3 units in like 2 weeks without complaining. Each lesson is like 15-20 mins so doesn't feel like a huge commitment. Figured I'd share since we're always looking for quality screen time alternatives. They also have a curriculum for all ages.

Code.org is genuinely great. My 9yo did a bunch of their stuff and actually understands logic now instead of just clicking buttons. The progression is really well designed.

Does your son want to keep going with it or was it just the novelty wearing off? Curious if he's interested in actual coding or just the game part.

This is a way better post than the usual "look at my parenting win." You're actually telling people about a FREE resource that works. More of this please.

Sharing actual working resources is great. So many coding apps for kids are overhyped. Code.org just... actually works without being flashy about it.
