If your kid is 'over' Scratch but gets bored by traditional Python tutorials, p5.js is the answer. It treats coding as a creative act rather than a chore. It’s one of the few tools that actually lives up to the promise of 'creative computing.'
It’s free, it’s open-source, and it’s built by people who care more about education than engagement metrics. For a parent, it’s a rare win-win where the 'screen time' is actually building a foundational career skill while feeling like an art project.
