About TKP

Teaching Kids Programming is an organization of volunteer programmers and teachers who have developed a framework designed specifically for teaching basic programming to children aged 10 and up. The framework consists of 14 weeks of courseware (“recipes”) that are taught in small, practical steps and give rapid visual reward as the student’s skill progresses. The associated teaching methods follow the philosophy that kids learn best through self-discovery and collaboration. All courseware is free. It can be used by students on their own, or in classrooms with parents or teachers as leader. Enjoy!

Below is a a sample recipe (lesson) from our TKP courseware library.  As of this writing we have 14 recipes in our library.  Check back there as we are adding more recipes on an ongoing basis.
