If you want to help your kids(Age 8+) learn coding at home by themselves (FREE), Scratch is the perfect way to start understanding the concepts of coding in a simple english and block language.

Kids can use Scratch to code their own interactive stories, animations, and games. In the process, they learn to think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively — essential skills for everyone in today’s society.

"Coding is like poetry, a compact expression that can be the most liberating. Everyone should learn coding irrespective of whether they are studying computer science, history or literature. It is a core skill and a malleable, changeable resource for the future," said Satya Nadella, chief executive officer, Microsoft.
Nadella emphasized on the balance between consumption and creation of technology. “It is always an issue we have at Microsoft, whether you are a Power point first person or a Word first person, but both the story and the writing are important."

Coding needed to innovate for future, says Nadella to students Nadella spoke about the role that technology will play in transforming the education.He also outlined the opportunity students have to solve some of the world’s most pressing problems
