Making Programming Accessible to Every Child
KidsBlock is a free, open-source graphical programming platform developed by Keyestudio. Based in Shenzhen, China, we have been dedicated to making programming education fun and accessible since 2018.
Born from a Passion for Education
KidsBlock was launched in 2018 by Keyestudio, a Shenzhen-based company dedicated to STEM education hardware and software. The idea was simple: programming education should be accessible to every child, regardless of their background. Our team of educators and engineers built a tool that makes coding as intuitive as playing with building blocks.
Built on the foundation of Scratch 3.0 and extended with real hardware support, KidsBlock bridges the gap between digital programming and physical computing. Students can write graphical code and immediately see it control real-world devices — Arduino boards, Micro:bit, ESP32, ESP8266, Makey Makey, and our own AIbot.
Today, KidsBlock is used by students and teachers across the globe. We remain committed to our open-source roots and continue to develop the platform with the community, adding new hardware support, AI features, and teaching resources.
