The Foos Coding 5+ | Make games! Kids learn programming logic. Free

Our creative space Foo Studio allows kids to put programming concepts to work by making video games and programming interactive stories. Creations can then be shared with a global community of Foo coders.

To be successful, kids must:
* determine the actions needed to solve each Foo’s problem
* order actions in a logical sequence
* recognize patterns
* use those patterns to make their code more efficient
* test solutions
* learn from tests and try revised solutions

The Foos is an introduction for those who have no experience programming and is all-ages friendly! That means anyone from 5 to 105 can play, have fun and learn real programming logic.
