Technology has become so ingrained in our lives that many children today don’t know life without it. Whether it’s a mobile device, a computer, a gaming console, or a smart TV, our children use some form of modern technology every single day. And while our children might be experts in using technology, they’re primarily using it only for consumption. So why not build on their expertise, and teach them how to create what they consume, or better yet, show them what it takes to make the technologies they’re using?
We’ve been talking a lot about how we’ve used our courses to introduce kids to programming in our local schools, and how important it is for children to learn to program. Our belief is that all schools should offer computer programming courses as standard parts of their curriculum, however, this is not yet a reality. In the meantime, while we’re working on making this a reality, parents can give their kids a head start.
