About Us Think back to when you first learned to code. The magic of seeing the work you were doing bring ideas to life. The frustration of trying to track down a bug in your code that was making everything fall apart and the satisfaction of fixing it. The joy of proudly showing a friend or family member what you created.
At Codeverse, we're bringing that joy and magic and the tools to deal with that frustration to kids as young as 6 years old! We believe kids should have the tools to build anything they want and if they do they will invent an amazing future.
That's why we built Kidscript, a language designed for learning and for kids and the world's first fully interactive and integrated development platform built just for 6-13 year olds. How Codeverse works is parents sign their kids up for virtual 1:1 lessons with our expert coding guides and kids gain unlimited access to our kid friendly developer tools. Kids learn by building apps and games, earn badges and skill points to level up, and can even submit to our Codeverse App Store (codeverse.com/app-store).
