Scratch for young beginners and Python as the primary text-based language. 

For young beginners (ages 7 – 9), Scratch is often the best starting point. Scratch is a visual drag-and-drop coding platform developed by MIT that helps children understand basic programming concepts in a fun and interactive way.

For older children (ages 10+), Python is widely recommended as the best first text-based programming language. Python has a simple, readable syntax and is used in real-world fields such as AI, data science, and game development.

Yes, absolutely. Learning to code is crucial for children growing up in the age of artificial intelligence. It’s no longer just about programming, it’s about developing essential digital literacy skills.

“Just because AI-powered computers are getting really good at coding doesn’t mean humans don’t need the skill […] understanding math and coding helps people grasp how AI works.” Bill Gates, Microsoft.
