Looking for fun, hands-on ways to teach children about computers? This guide — packed with 200 computer project ideas for kids — gives simple, creative, and age-appropriate projects that turn screen time into learning time.
Each idea is written so kids (and busy parents or teachers) can start quickly: tools to use, approximate age range, and what skills the project builds.
Whether your child is just beginning with block-based tools like Scratch or ready to try Python, these projects help them learn problem-solving, creativity, logic, and persistence — all while having fun.
Pick a project based on interest (games, art, music, or science), keep it small and achievable, and let the child customize it. Small wins build confidence — and confidence leads to bigger projects.
Use this list as a launchpad: copy an idea, try it this weekend, tweak it, and celebrate the result. No prior experience required — just curiosity, a device, and a bit of encouragement.

Why computer projects for kids matter
Computer projects teach more than coding. They build:
- Problem-solving — break a big task into small steps.
- Creativity — design characters, colors, and stories.
- Persistence — debugging teaches patience.
- Basic math and logic — sequencing, loops, conditions.
- Collaboration & communication — pair programming and show-and-tell.
These projects can fit many ages: young kids (5–8) can try block-based tools like Scratch, slightly older kids (8–12) can use Scratch or basic Python, and teens (12+) can explore HTML/CSS/JavaScript, Python, micro:bit, or Raspberry Pi.
How to choose a project
- Start simple. One small, working feature beats a half-finished big idea.
- Pick a topic the child loves (animals, games, music). Interest = motivation.
- Match tools to age: Scratch → younger, Python/HTML → older.
- Keep time in mind: 1–3 hour mini-projects vs multi-day projects.
- Encourage sharing — a short video or demo boosts confidence.
Tools & tech suggestions
- Scratch (scratch.mit.edu) — block coding, great for 6–12 years.
- MakeCode / micro:bit — physical computing for beginners.
- Python (Turtle / Thonny / Trinket) — text-based coding for 9+.
- HTML/CSS/JavaScript — build websites for 11+.
- Blockly apps / Code.org — introductory block coding.
- Raspberry Pi — mini computer projects for 12+.
- Glitch / Replit — online editors for web and Python projects.
Tips for parents & teachers
- Let kids choose and customize.
- Celebrate small successes (screenshots or certificates).
- Teach how to search: “how to” plus the tool name (e.g., “Scratch move sprite”).
- Encourage pair work — two kids can split design and coding.
- Keep safety in mind: no personal info online, and supervised sharing.

Quick presentation & grading ideas
If this is for school or a club, consider a simple rubric:
- Functionality (40%) — Does it work as intended?
- Creativity (30%) — Unique idea, visual design, or story.
- Code Quality / Effort (20%) — Structure, comments, complexity.
- Presentation (10%) — Short demo and explanation.
Ask kids to prepare a 1–2 minute demo and a single-slide summary: name, tools used, 2 things they learned, and one challenge they faced.

Safety & sharing checklist
- Don’t post personal details (full name, address, phone) when sharing online.
- If you want to share code publicly, remove saved personal data.
- For projects using cameras/microphones, get parental permission.
- Use safe platforms approved by school or parent.
Final tips & next steps
- Start with one tiny project from the list that matches the kid’s interest.
- Remix and customize — encourage kids to add a feature (sound, score, levels).
- Keep a project folder or portfolio with screenshots and short descriptions.
- Reward persistence: debugging is normal and part of learning
You now have a full toolkit of computer project ideas for kids — from tiny 30-minute experiments to multi-day creations. Remember: the goal isn’t perfect code; it’s learning, experimenting, and having fun. Start with one simple project, let the child personalize it, and slowly add new features as they grow more confident.
