Overview
Kodu is a new visual programming language made specifically for creating games. It is designed to be accessible for children and enjoyable for anyone. The visual nature of the language allows for rapid design iteration using only an Xbox game controller for input (mouse/keyboard input is also supported).

Kodu Teaches more than Programming
  • Kodu is a rich tool for narrative creation and storytelling.
  • Kodu demonstrates that programming is a creative medium.
  • Kodu helps children with critical thinking, breaking a complex goal into manageable steps, and iterate on the design process - an approach applicable to all academic subjects, business and personal relationships.
  • Kodu introduces the logic and problem solving of programming.
  • Kodu introduces conditions and sequences, which teaches cause and effect.
  • Students learn about cooperation, logic and creativity in addition to programming.
