STEM Life with a nine-year-old college student

Learn How to Code Online

by Sarah

Careers in computer science and engineering fields currently outnumber the individuals qualified to take the on, and these opportunities are only growing. It’s time to help our kids learn how to code online. Check out these resources for kids.

Learn How to Code Online

Code.org

When you talk about coding, the first place to go is Code.org. Their motto is, “anybody can learn” and the site makes it easy. Hour of Code is a great place to start. Each year, students, teachers, and parents can register to have their students go through an hour of introductory computer science. Don’t want to wait for the Hour of Code date? Go through any of the hour (or more) activities to learn basic coding from creating games to animation, JavaScript, and more!

Codeacademy

Codeacademy is marketed towards adults, but students can definitely take advantage of the free courses including “Intro to Coding”. Users can login with their Google Accounts, and learn a variety of languages including HTML, Python, Ruby, PHP, jQuery, JavaScript, and more. Free courses that can help your innovative child design their own website or app? Sign us up!

Khan Academy

Khan Academy is not just for math or core coursework. More than 400 computer programming courses and 180 computer science courses cover topics such as drawing and animation, simulations, algorithms, and cryptography.

Scratch

Scratch is a web-based platform put out by Massachusetts Institute of Technology that helps students learn intro level coding to create games, interactive stories, and animations. The best thing about Scratch is the community. Users can play games other creators have uploaded and even use already made designs to edit and make their own.

MIT OpenCourseWare

Get free lecture notes, videos, and even exams from MIT. Your student can learn from advanced courses at the nation’s top university for all things STEM. The best part is that the open courses are absolutely free. There are 2400 courses available and many of those courses are related to computer science and coding.

Help your child learn how to code online with these innovative sites and resources. You don’t have to spend a lot of money on coding training. Try these out for free!
