Hopscotch-Programming for kids
Hopscotch is a coding app that offers a creative and engaging way for kids to learn and express their imagination. Unlike other "learn to code" apps, Hopscotch allows users to create anything they want, providing them with the freedom to explore their creativity. Users can code games, art, stories, and more using kid-friendly programming. These creations can be published to Hopscotch's moderated community, where other kids can play and learn from them.
In addition to creating, users can also explore and learn from millions of projects created by other kids. They can open up any project to play, tweak, or remix it, ensuring that they never run out of ideas or inspiration. Hopscotch also provides play-along video tutorials that teach users to make popular games like Crossy Road and Pokemon Go. As users become better programmers, Hopscotch offers increasingly advanced challenges in order to further develop their skills.
The app has received recognition and awards, including being featured in various publications such as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and Parents Magazine. For parents who want to see how much their child will enjoy learning to code with Hopscotch, the app offers a free trial period before subscribing to Hopscotch Pro, which provides premium creation tools. Educators can also utilize Hopscotch in the classroom, with access to free lesson plans and student accounts.
Hopscotch prioritizes the safety and privacy of children, and is COPPA Certified by iKeep Safe. The app does not require or collect personal information from children. Subscription options are available for those who want access to premium creation tools, with a choice between a monthly or yearly plan. The subscription will be charged to the user's credit card and will automatically renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
