Notes for parents

Codingal says the starting course depends on a child’s earlier coding experience, not age alone.

In these guides

• Coding for kids, from picture blocks to typed Python: Where kids can start coding at 4, 7 or 11: picture-block apps, Scratch, typed Python and robots, in the order many children come across them.
• Live online classes for kids: one-on-one tutors, small groups or a class marketplace?: How live online classes for kids are set up: one-on-one lessons, small groups and class marketplaces, with providers for coding, math, science and English.
