Following a successful launch back in 2013, the Hopscotch app recently received an update that makes STEM learning even more accessible to kids. The app retains the same user-friendly design that helps kids code without the need for typing or complicated syntax, however there is now an additional subscription option for those looking to improve their skills.
The Hopscotch app is a coding app that involves dragging and dropping different actions to build unique sequences of commands. This user-friendly language teaches children the fundamentals of coding while also giving them a fun way to create their own games and animated artwork. To heighten the experience, users can now sign up for subscriptions that provide access to a variety of different tutorials, which ultimately gives kids access the full programming tool instead of just a portion of it.
With the new subscription feature in place, the Hopscotch app not only makes STEM learning more accessible, but it also gives kids even more ways to create their own content.
