15 Smart Programming Jokes Kids Will Love

At CODDY, we know the best way to explain something tricky is with a smile. That's why our instructors have put together a list of programming jokes that not only bring a laugh but also teach kids about coding in the process.

"When I explain loops with a joke about a robot walking in circles looking for candy, kids remember it forever," shares a CODDY instructor.
