For those of you with children at home during these “interesting” times that are teaching programming at home, what are your go to resources?

If possible, list the age range for the resource. Hopefully we can build an awesome list of resources here. 💪

What ages do you consider children? (I might know a few things that could help depending on the age)

Well I was hoping people would post resources with age ranges. 😄I guess a child would be 5-12?

Just discovered this book How To Train Your Robot, a free kids book by an engineer and his 10-year-old daughter. One note - "an engineer" is a professor at a prestigious university twitter.com/ken_goldberg/status/12...

I recently saw this on Mozilla's blog: Learn web technology at “sofa school”:

Lots of kids around the world are learning from home right now. In this post, I introduce free resources based on web technologies that will help them explore and learn from the safety of their living rooms. VR headsets and high-end graphics cards aren’t necessary. Really, all you need is a web browser!

As I'm a coding instructor to kids in the past.

The most important key is that you should get them interested in the fun way.

Either something physical that, provides rapid feedback or visual stimulating is the way to go for kids.
