Code Monster offers an engaging and simple way to teach young kids ages 9 to 14 valuable programming skills completely free. Code Monster is aimed at preteens and young learners can start to learn coding in Javascript.
While it's not as flashy as other programming websites, it's a straightforward text-based coding platform. All it pretty much consists of is a monster icon, code box, and a green dialog box you click on to move forward. You can quickly see the results of what you type into the code box on the right side.
Children receive a step-by-step guide starting from the basics like creating functions, declaring & setting variables, loops, and much more. They can learn at their own pace and even move or skip lessons if they've already practiced it with this coding platform.
