We like Blockly Games series because its graphics are simple and easy to use, both for children and adults. On top of that, it is multilingual and everyone can make use of it.

Moreover, the program also allows children to develop a strong sense of independence. Indeed, they will be able to learn to work on their own, without needing your help.

We also recommend it to parents who don’t have a basic knowledge of coding and who would like to learn.
