To all the teachers of computer science for children aged 10 to 14!

The course page will likely display in English and won't offer the option to switch to another language, but, like that little gopher, there is indeed a Russian translation. Here's what you need to do:
- visit the Minecode editor page
- switch to the Russian language there through the settings (the gear icon in the upper right corner)
- go back to
The course teaches the basics of programming using a block-based visual programming language similar to Scratch. The programs created run in the Minecraft world. For whiz kids wanting to grow into JavaScript developers from a young age, the editor has a tab that allows doing the same, but in JavaScript. .
Feel free to come and check it out; you might find something useful for the learning process.
I am translating the course in my free time from architectural work, and I also serve as a junior editor for what others are translating within the MakeCode project (the main editor is the spellchecker in my Chrome). If you want to help children in Russia learn the basics of programming, I welcome everyone at — there is still a lot of work to be done, for example, the block documentation has not yet been translated.
