Coding basics

Scratch vs Python: which should my child learn first?

How the two differ, and how to choose by age and interest.

5 min read

Scratch and Python both teach real programming ideas. The difference is how your child writes code: Scratch uses drag-and-drop blocks, while Python is typed text.

When Scratch is the better start

Scratch suits children who are new to coding or who love games and animation. It removes spelling and syntax worries, so they focus on logic.

When to choose Python

Python suits children in grade 6 and up who read comfortably and want to write “real” code. Many children start with Scratch, then move to Python with confidence.
