Why do parents love Bitsbox?
OPEN-ENDED PROJECTS!
With coding recipes like games, drawing tools, stories, and simulations, kids learn by building, then extending, then inventing their own apps. Each project is a starting place for a hundred more.
MAKE REAL APPS!
Kids code their apps right here on the Bitsbox website. From there, they can play their creations on any device with a web browser. Computers, phones, tablets—anywhere in the world.
TYPED JAVASCRIPT CODING!
The best way to learn coding is by writing real code. From their first minute, kids are working on projects that they can customize to suit their own interests. Kids build their apps by typing code, just like the pros.
NO EXPERIENCE REQUIRED!
Parents don't have to be programmers to help their kids learn to code. All it takes is time, attention to detail, practice, and a shared delight in learning.
KIDS SHARE APPS WITH ANYONE!
Kids can share their apps with friends and family in a number of different ways, and their apps can be played on any computer or device with a web connection. There's nothing more motivating than showing off your work!
“THANK YOU!!!!! you gise are osome”

Frequently Asked Questions
What age is Bitsbox for?
Bitsbox is designed for kids 6-12 years in age.
How your kids engage with Bitsbox will depend on their age, of course. If your kiddo is 6 or 7, they may choose shorter projects and make simpler customizations. Older kids will do the projects faster and need less help.
Does Bitsbox allow for multiple siblings?
Yes! If your kids can share toys, they can share Bitsbox. Each kiddo can make their own coding account online for free, so they each have their own virtual tablet and coding space. They can then take turns with the app projects.
What kind of computer do I need?
Bitsbox works on any computer with a web browser. A Mac, Windows PC, Linux machine, or Chromebook works great. Bitsbox works inside a webpage and doesn't require any downloads. Even though it's theoretically possible for kids to do Bitsbox on a tablet or iPad, we'd recommend using a machine with a physical keyboard—typing a set of {} on an iPad is an ordeal, even for grownups.
