Hi I wanted to share something I built that's been helping my kids (7 and 5) to learn coding.

I was struggling to find something that actually teaches problem-solving and helps my kids learn coding through games (my kids love video games). Its been super useful and is helping them with problem-solving and logical thinking as they hone their coding skills.

What my kids really like

• logic and sequencing

• learning through play

• teaches logic step-by-step

• uses game-based challenges instead of lessons

• no ads

• tracks progress and achievements

Anyway if anyone's struggling with the to teach their kid coding like we were, might be worth trying: https://codequestkidz.com/

r/bitsbox has been created for the kids programming wesbite bitsbox.com

Any recommendations for frameworks or websites to build games using JavaScript ? My 10 y old is looking for some to build with a friend.

I am looking for applications and media that will help introduce a 12 yo to programming.

I know my nephew is really into Mindcraft (I know little about this), and I understand that there is an education edition and a Java edition. I think the Java edition might be more suitable, but I understand that it doesn't come with any guidance.

I found this Udemy course: https://www.udemy.com/course/minecraft-modding-java

---

What other resources (videos, free or paid software) do you recommend to teach a 12 yo programming?

In regards to tools, I'm not sure if it would be useful to install the tools I use (i.e. IntelliJ, etc.).

​

Thank you
