Cogni Coder: It teaches kids ages 8- 18 coding through Zoom and provides learning in specific programming languages like Javascript, Python, Game Development In Unity, and a cybersecurity program.

Coding for kids is wildly popular with educators, politicians, parents, the tech industry, and people who run coding camps. But not everyone is sold.

Of course, while written for kids, “JavaScript for Kids” is fine for any beginner who wants a gentle and fun introduction to programming. The author, Nick Morgan, is a front-end engineer at Twitter.

So he came up with a solution: Code Monster from Crunchzilla. It’s a free site, designed for kids ages 9-14, that blends elements of a game and tutorial to teach basic Javascript skills.
