  1. The 7 Most Popular Coding Languages and Coding Curriculum for Kids

  2. 1. Scratch Scratch is a popular programming language for kids and beginners. Designed mostly for children aged 8 to 16. Scratch is a block- based programming language that emphasizes simplicity and intuitiveness. It is simple for novice coders to learn the basics thanks to the highly visible UI. Rather than developing code line by line, block-based coding integrates pre-written lines of code into visually represented building blocks. To create lines of code, simply drag and drop these building blocks. You'll have a working program once you've connected enough blocks. The benefit of block-based coding is that it eliminates the need for children to worry about spelling or syntax problems. This allows students to concentrate on learning the fundamentals of coding and developing a solid foundation.

  3. 2. LUA (Roblox) Roblox is a free-to-play game that is extremely popular among children aged 7 to 16. It's also one of the most popular game-based learning platforms for coding instruction. Roblox and Roblox Studio are built on the LUA programming language. It's a scripting language for beginners that introduces basic ideas to those who are new to text-based coding. LUA is a great choice for kids who wish to learn a text-based language or who want to expand their knowledge. One of the main reasons LUA is such a wonderful coding language for youngsters to learn is because of Roblox Studio. Kids will learn game design as well as the fundamentals of coding. Roblox-based courses give kids the ability to build a variety of games.

  4. 3. Java (Minecraft) With over 200 million copies sold globally, Minecraft is another of the most popular games among children. The Java programming language is at its core. The modding community is what keeps Minecraft so popular even now, ten years after its initial release. Java allows players to build game changes (mods). Mods can alter the game in a variety of ways. From minor additions of new weapons or materials to entire graphical overhauls, there's something for everyone. Mods allow for the creation of custom game types such as battle-royal.

  5. 4. C#(Unity) Microsoft created C# in the year 2000 as a general-purpose programming language. C# is the primary scripting language used by Unity, a popular gaming engine. C# is similar to Java, albeit it is not necessarily recommended for novices. As a result, studying C# is a natural progression from Java. The C# implementation in Unity allows for more complex game development. It enables users to interact with 3D objects and to add various aspects to them. Unity is a fantastic tool for teaching youngsters both coding and game production.

  6. 5. Python (CodeCombat) CodeCombat has a fantastic game-based learning curriculum that makes it simple for students to learn the fundamentals of coding. Python, one of the most widely used programming languages, has a wide range of practical applications. Solid community support, built-in data structures, frameworks, and strong libraries all contribute to its success. Python is the ideal programming language for individuals who need to construct applications quickly.

  7. 6. JavaScript (Blockly) Google's take on block-based coding is appropriately dubbed "Blockly." Blockly, like Scratch, provides an easy- to-understand solution for children to learn coding fundamentals by using interactive code blocks. Designed mostly for children aged 7 and up. JavaScript is considerably easier to learn as a beginning than Java because of its simplicity. JavaScript's broad use and popularity can be attributed to its simplicity and versatility.

  8. 7. Small Basic Typically, kids begin by learning block-based programming languages before progressing to text-based programming languages. The switch to text-based coding languages can be difficult, but Small Basic is here to help. Small Basic is a fantastic choice for children since it provides a simple and straightforward introduction to the fundamentals of text- based coding. It provides a setting in which children can gradually acquire and internalize basic concepts in a thoughtful manner. It's also a good choice if your kids are having trouble transitioning to text-based coding.
