How the coding path is structured
Free coding for Class 3 to Class 8, structured so a child with zero programming background can start immediately. It begins with Scratch-style block coding — dragging logic blocks together to build small games and animations, which teaches sequencing and conditionals without needing to type syntax correctly. From there it moves into real typed code in Python and JavaScript once a child is comfortable with the underlying logic.
Why start with blocks, not typed code
The biggest early barrier in coding isn't logic, it's syntax — a missing bracket or colon that a beginner can't diagnose. Block-based coding removes that barrier entirely so the actual skill being taught (breaking a problem into steps) isn't blocked by a typo. Typed languages come once that foundation is there — see Python for Kids for the next stage.
What makes this different from paid coding platforms
Coding-for-kids platforms are often sold as multi-month paid courses with live instructors. Syllab's version is self-paced and free — no instructor-led schedule, no course fee — which suits a child fitting coding practice around school rather than a fixed weekly class slot.
Age range and starting point
Designed for Class 3 to Class 8. No prior experience is assumed — a child who has never coded before and a child who already knows basic Scratch can both start on the same page and move at their own pace.
