They think step by step
They put instructions in order, find patterns and break big problems into small parts: computational thinking.

Program in Spanish.
Think like a programmer.
Guide a robot, draw with code and write your first Python-style programs, using words you already know: si, repeat, mientras. Ideal for developing logic from ages 6 to 17.

Learn by playing
Coding is fun too.
It's not about memorizing commands: it's about thinking, trying, making mistakes and trying again.
They create, not just use
With a few lines of code they draw stars, flowers and spirals. They see the result instantly and feel encouraged to experiment.
They level up
Short challenges, from easier to harder, with a hint, a solution and a bonus challenge for those who want to go further.
Simulator
Your turn: write code.
Choose a world, read the mission and press Run. If you make a mistake, the simulator tells you which line and how to fix it.
This is how your program would be written in real Python. The ideas are the same!

Three worlds, from easier to harder.
Each world teaches a part of programming. Start with the one for your age or go in order.

From Spanish to real Python
Logic first. Language later.
Every word they learn here has its counterpart in Python, one of the most widely used languages in the world. When they make the leap, they'll already know how to program: only the words will change.

For parents
Learn alone, at their own pace.
The Code Zone is self-guided practice: students read, try and fix their code with help from the simulator's messages.

Worlds by age
Robot from age 6, Magic Pencil from 9 and Console from 12.
And then?
When they want more, they code for real.
In the Mate Fácil labs they go from challenges to creating real games, worlds and programs, live and in groups of up to 12.
Computational thinking
Logic, patterns, sequences, algorithms, problem decomposition and challenges. Prepares the student to code.
- Logic
Scratch
Animations, interactive stories, games and challenges. Introduces variables, events, conditions and logic in a visual way.
- Programming
Roblox
Designing experiences, scenarios, rules, logic and progressive scripting. Goal: go from player to creator.
- Programming
Python
Variables, conditions, loops, functions, small programs and problem solving.

Frequently asked questions
About the Code Zone
Is it real Python?
It's a simulation: a «Python in Spanish» that runs in the browser. It uses the same ideas as Python (variables, conditions, loops and functions), and in the «Real Python» tab you see how each program is written in Python. That makes the step to the real language natural.
Why in Spanish?
So students can focus on the logic and not the language. Once they understand what «si» or «repetir» does, learning «if» or «for» is just changing the word.
Do I need to create an account?
No. Progress is saved only in this browser. If you clear your browser data, the challenges start over.
From what age can it be used?
The Robot world is designed from age 6 (with an adult's help at first), the Magic Pencil from 9 and the Console from 12.
Does it replace classes?
No. It's free practice to spark interest. In the Mate Fácil labs, students program in Scratch, Roblox and real Python, live with a teacher.
