The need for computer programmers in companies is constantly increasing. Many fields do not have the high earning potential that programming-based fields have. That’s why more students should learn to code. Beginners start with Blockly Scratch-like programming, while more advanced users can move towards Java in the object-oriented code editor.
COLLABORATIVE CREATIVITY
Digital creativity offers children a different outlet to innovate, invent and express themselves in a different way. By experimenting, children learn and strengthen their brains. They learn even when they make a mistake. Kids can be creative and creativity is encouraged when coding. Creativity is part of the problem solving process.
MULTIDISCIPLINARY
Coding requires students to use math and science concepts in context. Skills they must demonstrate include syntax, punctuation, cause/effect relationship, multiplication, measuring angles, coordinates, terms, electronics, circuitry, and much more.
COMMUNICATION
Coding teaches logical communication and strengthens both verbal and written skills. Instead of communicating between two people, we are communicating between a person and a device. The programming language we use is our way of telling the computer what we want to do.
LEARNING WITH FUN
Coding a virtual 3D robot is fun and kids need to learn fun. For many developers, part of the charm of coding is the hassle and reward of having their code come to life after a good debugging session. Getting started with programming can be easy and fun.
