Coding for Kids: Learn to Code Javascript - Video Game Design Coding Software - Computer Programming for Kids, Ages 11-18, (PC, Mac, Chromebook Compatible)

I got this for my 10 year old that wants to be a gaming coder when he grows up. He has completed the first lesson and say it was easy to follow and is learning a lot (he is still interested in being a coder, so it cant be that bad). The kids growing up in todays world will need to know all the tecky stuff when it comes to electronics, so getting them more advance isnt a bad idea, especially if its what the want to go to college for. Very happy to be educating his brain while having fun. Very happy with this coding program.

I was hoping this would be a little more engaging. As an adult, I’m enjoying it, but I can’t imagine many kids being able to stay too interested in it. That said, it’s been great for me and I’m enjoying learning how to code!

There was some good learning with this game. I thought it was pretty cool it came with a thumb drive for saving files. I rated it a three star because my son wasnt too impressed with it. He reads really well, but he is 8 1/2 years old. I think he may need a little more tech experience. I took a chance because I wanted him to learn while using a screen. I dont like time-wasting screens. I dont know for how long the code is active, but I would like him to try again in a few months.

The PIIN number did not work so the gift could not be used and was returned through Amazon. Very disappointing as it was a birthday gift for my grandson.

As hard as it sounds and looks this course is pretty strait forward. Very helpful hints and fun games make this product a great choice for your kid and/or you.

I think overall my kid is going to learn and add to his knowledge I bought this for my 11 year old son who is homeschooled and this was an addition to regular curriculum. Im so glad I purchased it! You should know that there is no software in the box, you simply receive a web address and a code to download the software along with a 8gb thumb drive. The thumb drive itself is blank - think of it more as a freebie - you dont even need it for learning. We have a Macbook and our son was able to follow the online directions and get everything required himself. Hes a bright boy, but not necessarily a computer nerd, so a child who can listen and follow directions will be successful with this. He has had a little bit of programming instruction through the free online Khan Academy, so the first few lessons were a wonderful review for him. He ran into a few little problems with his code, so he sent a chat message through the help feature and received timely answers that helped him sort out his mistakes on his own. After a bit of trial and error, he was able to complete the tasks with help from the chat feature when required. The instructions are available are in text and also in video tutorials and each of the lesson is followed by a practical exercise. My husband and I didnt have to do a thing to help. What a relief to find a product like this that doesnt require hours of tech support and troubleshooting just to make it work for your kid!

So easy to get started, and I do not consider myself a computer person.

Love Simply Coding!! Love that my daughter can learn relevant skills that I am not able to teach her in our own home.

I bought this for my 12 year old God son who is big into computers and wants to be a game designer when he grows up! He was so excited when he opened and started it right away!! We both give it 5 stars!!

Need to return Item to seller! Dont have a mobile phone to get code to send back! So I have to eat this poor product! Didnt know you had to buy more software to keep coding!!
