What You Need to Know
Knowing where to start for your young coder is challenging. We can help. Your child will be able to learn how to code, how to problem solve with computational thinking, and how to create games and more!
A little about what you and your child will experience:
- Embrace mistakes: Evidence suggests during initial learning students retain more information if they’re given the freedom to make mistakes. Encourage them to learn and grow in confidence through mistakes as they seek an answer.
- Enjoy learning: Learning and problem solving can be fun through creative activities like coding and game design.
- Explore computer science: Computer science is a powerful medium in which students can express themselves to solve challenges in unique ways to enhance their creativity and problem solving.
Here’s how you can start your child on their coding journey:
