Several websites offer the opportunity to access these programming
environments directly from the browser, eliminating the need to download
or install a specific application. Since these resources are usually free to use,

not intended for profit, and are associated with universities and research centres,
we list below the main reference sites:

● https://scratch.mit.edu/ (Suitable for both learners and adult learners)
“Scratch is a high-level block-based visual programming language and

website aimed primarily at children as an educational tool, with a target
audience of ages 8 to 16(...). The service is developed by the MIT Media Lab,
and has been translated into 70+ languages, and is used in most parts of
the world. Scratch is taught and used in after-school centres, schools, and

colleges, as well as other public knowledge institutions.”
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scratch_(programming_language)]
Certainly, the most reliable, recognised, and used resource, as well as one
that we will use in the guide in the following pages.

● https://code.org/ (Suitable for both learners and adult learners)

“Code.org is a non-profit organisation and educational website founded by
Hadi and Ali Partovi aimed at K-12 learners that specialises in computer
science.[2] The website includes free coding lessons, sounds, and many
more things used to help learners code fluently. The initiative also targets

schools in an attempt to encourage them to include more computer science
classes in the curriculum.”
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code.org ]
It's a coding education platform that provides, among other things, a
pathway with step-by-step activities to make learners independent in their
progress from a basic level to a more comprehensive experience.

● https://codeweek.eu/training (Suitable for both learners and adult
learners)
A page dedicated to training from the official website of the Codeweek

initiative promoted by the European Commission. Various resources and
training paths can be found there.
