A loop is a programming concept that repeats a set of instructions multiple times. Instead of writing the same code over and over, loops let programmers execute commands efficiently with just a few lines of code.

Loops teach computational thinking and problem-solving skills. Kids learn to identify patterns, think efficiently, and understand how real programs work - from video games to robots.

Children as young as 5-6 can understand basic loop concepts through visual games like Loop Lab. The game uses painting patterns to make abstract programming concepts concrete and fun.

Loop Lab introduces the same for-loop logic used in JavaScript, Python, and other programming languages. Kids see actual code examples and learn to think like programmers.
