What is GitHub for kids?
GitHub is like a time machine for coding projects. It helps programmers save, track, and manage every change they make in their code. For kids, learning GitHub is like keeping a super-organized notebook, where each page shows what was changed, when, and by whom.
This is especially helpful when building games, apps, or websites, because it lets kids work together on projects without losing any progress.
Without GitHub, coding can get messy and confusing. With GitHub, kids learn the habits of professional developers: teamwork, version control, responsibility, and collaboration—all while creating cool, real coding projects.
