A Great Programming Language for Beginners Learning to Code
Hedy is a great programming language for kids and teens to learn. It is easy to learn and use, and a lot of fun.
Hedy is a programming language designed specifically for beginners. It is based on Python, but simplified and packed with helpful scaffolding to make getting started with programming much easier. With Hedy, kids and teens can gain their first hands-on experience with code in a playful way, learning foundational concepts such as variables, loops, and functions.
From the official Hedy website:
What's Hedy?
Hedy is a textual programming language, specifically developed for (pre-)teens (10 to 15 years old). In contrast to programming languages for kids, like Scratch, Hedy doesn't use code blocks but textual code. So with Hedy you'll learn how to type code like the real programmers do, but in small steps with playful exercises. This way Hedy can function as a stepping stone to real programming languages like Python in an accessible and mostly fun way! If you want to know more, you can watch this video about the development of Hedy as a programming language.
