Awesome Kids
A curated list of awesome resources for teaching programming skills for Kids. Inspired by https://github.com/ziadoz/awesome-php.
I've used incredible Code.org® as base for this list and I judge interesting to mention it
Table of Contents
Code.org
Launched in 2013, Code.org® is a non-profit dedicated to expanding access to computer science, and increasing participation by women and underrepresented students of color. Our vision is that every student in every school should have the opportunity to learn computer science. We believe computer science should be part of core curriculum, alongside other courses such as biology, chemistry or algebra.
Hour of Code
The Hour of Code is a global movement reaching tens of millions of students in 180+ countries. Anyone, anywhere can organize an Hour of Code event. One-hour tutorials are available in over 40 languages. No experience needed. Ages 4 to 104.
