Beginners will find it easy to start coding their projects in BLOCKLY. This is a block-like coding framework developed by Google based on Scratch, pioneered by MIT. It allows children to develop skills with smaller projects without having to worry about command lines or computer syntax.

BLOCKLY is simple enough for young children to understand and experiment with without fear of "breaking" the code. It helps lay the foundation for computational thinking and logic and allows students to explore the inter-relationship between software and hardware. Try it out yourself with Google's BLOCKLY Demonstration App or view a sample of our free online resources.
KodeKLIX® enhanced BLOCKLY is available for Microsoft Windows, Macbooks* and in beta for Chromebooks**. Whilst BLOCKLY coding can be practised using the PICAXE-cloud version on a tablet device like iPad or Android, the downloading of code requires a one of the above laptop or desktop computers.
When children are ready for more complex projects, they can migrate to easy-to-use BASIC or other textual syntax languages.
