OctoStudio: Coding for Kids

OctoStudio lets children create animations and games with coding blocks, drawings, sounds and device interactions.

Our take

Choose for creative mobile coding without a required connection.

Projects can respond to motion and use original media, making experimentation possible beyond a static screen.

Keep in mind: It is a playful programming environment rather than a professional app-store publishing tool.

What you can do

  • Combine artwork and sounds with coding blocks
  • Use supported tilt, shake and device actions
  • Remix sample projects
  • Export project files
  • Record creations as video or GIF

Good for

  • Children and families exploring creative coding

Consider alternatives for

  • Developers seeking a complete native-app deployment toolchain

Limitations & considerations

  • It is a playful programming environment rather than a professional app-store publishing tool.

Privacy & permissions
