C4K - Coding for Kids

About C4K - Coding for Kids

C4K-Coding4Kids is an educational app designed to teach children aged 6 to 12 how to code and develop programming skills. This app provides kids with fundamental and advanced programming knowledge through entertaining activities, games, and hands-on exercises.
With nearly 2,000 engaging levels across 22 different games, what does the app have to teach children about basic programming concepts?
● Basic is the simplest gameplay mode of the game, allowing kids to familiarize themselves with the drag-and-drop mechanics of Coding4Kids. In Basic mode, players drag coding blocks directly onto the gameplay screen to help characters reach the end point and complete the game.
● Sequence is the second gameplay mode. From the Sequence mode onwards, children will no longer directly drag coding blocks onto the screen but instead drag them onto a side bar. The Sequence mode introduces kids to this gameplay style and the sequential execution of coding blocks from top to bottom.
● Debugging introduces a new gameplay style where coding blocks are pre-placed but may be redundant or in the wrong order. Players need to fix the order of blocks and remove any unnecessary ones to complete the level. Debugging helps children become familiar with deleting and rearranging coding blocks and understanding how programs run more clearly.
● Loop introduces a new block alongside basic coding blocks, which is the looping block. The looping block allows for the repetition of commands within it a certain number of times, saving the need for multiple individual commands.
● Similar to Loop, Function introduces kids to a new block called the function block. The function block is used to execute a group of blocks placed inside it, saving time in dragging and dropping repetitive blocks and creating more space within the program.
● Coordinate is a new type of game where children learn about two-dimensional space. Coding blocks are transformed into coordinate blocks, and the task is to navigate to the corresponding coordinates to complete the level.
● Advanced is the final and most challenging type of game in which all blocks except coordinate blocks are used. Kids must apply what they have learned in previous modes to complete advanced levels.
