Made with Code: Teach Kids Coding Basics

Learn coding skills with fun projects & curriculum for kids to build websites, apps, and games - Made with Code by Google

What is Made with Code?

Made with Code is a website from Google that aims to inspire young girls to get involved with computer programming. The site features fun coding projects in a visual drag-and-drop programming environment that allows beginners to build their first websites, apps, games, and more without needing to know how to code.

The Made with Code platform uses Blockly, an open-source visual programming language, to introduce coding basics like loops, variables, and functions. Step-by-step tutorials walk users through building projects like an animated bracelet, a virtual pet, a beat maker, and even helping a unicorn bust some dance moves.

While Made with Code is geared towards teen girls given the gender gap in tech fields, the curriculum is great for anyone new to coding. The programming blocks use natural language to eliminate syntax baggage, and the end products are highly visual to bring coding to life. Users can further personalize projects by uploading images or tweaking colors and sounds.

Beyond inspirational quotes and profiles of women in tech, Google also partnered with Girls Who Code, a nonprofit that promotes computing education for girls. Made with Code is completely free and requires no downloads or installations.
