EPAM has released a free children's course on mobile game development.

EPAM has developed a free educational course, “Your First Steps in Programming: Create a Game in Scratch,” for children and teenagers who want to understand the basics of programming and game development.

The program is designed for children aged 7–12. It consists of four modules that include a learning format with gamification and interactive elements. The course is intended for self-study starting at age 10. Children younger than 10 are recommended to complete it together with adults.

The company states that the course will help children learn the basics of programming, understand the visual Scratch environment, and gain skills in working on their own project, even creating their own version of the computer game Pong.

The course is available in Russian, Kazakh, and English.
