AlgoForKids turns programming into a puzzle a child can hold in their hands. A rabbit wants to reach the carrot. Your child builds the route out of colourful command blocks โ go forward, turn, jump โ then presses play and watches the plan run. When it fails, they see exactly where. When it works, they earn stars for solving it in fewer blocks. No text. No typing. No reading required. WHAT YOUR CHILD LEARNS โข Sequencing โ putting steps in the right order โข Debugging โ finding out why a plan didn't work โข Loops โ repeating a group of steps instead of writing them again โข Functions โ naming a routine once and reusing it โข Efficiency โ the three-star target always rewards the shortest solution 100 HAND-DESIGNED LEVELS Every level was drawn by hand, then checked by a solver to make sure it can be finished, that it is different from every other level, and that the star targets are actually reachable.
