About Codeverse

Codeverse is an award-winning learn-to-code platform that enables kids to build video games using KidScript®. KidScript is a real, written programming language that draws inspiration from languages such as JavaScript, Ruby and Python. It features an easy-to-learn syntax that gives kids the opportunity to see their creations come to life in real-time as they type. It’s simple enough that beginners can easily get started and learn as they go, yet powerful enough to create complex apps and games.
