This document provides 10 ways to teach kids how to code with suggestions for different age ranges. It recommends starting with maze and board games for ages 4-8. Then moving to the Hour of Code for ages 6-12+ and animation using Scratch for ages 8-16. Other suggestions include making websites for ages 8+, learning actual coding languages for ages 6+, fostering interests through contests and courses for all ages, using hardware like Arduino for ages 7+, robots for ages 4+, and teaching coding to others for age 7+.
