In order to start with your child on the journey of learning to program as soon as possible and with minimal effort, and achieve great results at the same time.

Let's start our journey...

The programming languages and tools that we will talk about today share several elements, but the first and most important of them is fun, interaction, and quick results that would encourage the child to learn more, innovate and develop his knowledge and methods of dealing with these languages, and I limited my nominations to programming languages and tools that enhance the idea of interactive learning and stimulate Child.

1- Scratch scratch3

One of the most popular free programming languages for children, designed for education and developed by the non-profit Scratch Foundation, and is one of the best ways to teach programming principles from an early age due to its ease of use and its distinctive interface, which makes it one of the easiest languages that children and adults can learn, as it is Visually based, drag and drop command blocks with ease within a very attractive and simple user interface, it is suitable for children from 8 years of age, but of course, you can start with your child at any age that shows signs of interest in coding.

It was developed to provide young people with digital tools and opportunities to enhance computational thinking and problem-solving skills; creative teaching and learning, self-expression and collaboration; And to ensure that everyone learns programming skills, as it is completely free and open source. It targets ages from 8 to 16.

2- Alice Alice Programming

Alice is a software tool designed to teach advanced programming languages such as C++ in a simple and uncomplicated way, based on drag and drop, design and animate 3D models, allowing children to design animations and games, and can be linked to other subjects, such as mathematics, science, geography, and even Technical education, and Alice is characterized by the ability to convert programs and semantics from them to Java development environments.

Alice may not be the best choice for children in the early stages of life, but it is still a powerful learning tool that will enable children and young adults to start learning to code and enter the world of coding for advanced languages.

3- Twine twine

Twain is not a programming language in the conventional sense, but it is a free tool for non-linear storytelling, that is, stories that include sublines out of their chronological order, or stories with multiple path choices.

Some may think that there is no relationship between the Twain tool and programming, but in fact, it will enrich and enhance many of the skills a child needs while learning programs, such as planning and organization, and it will greatly help children who intend to enter the world of game development and design.

The beautiful thing about the Twain tool is that you will not need programming to prepare and design your game, as all you have to do is add texts, images, and the events of your game story, without the need for any code, which makes it a great entry for those who find it difficult to make progress in learning programming, especially Initially.
