What is Coding?
Coding is the method of giving a computer instructions to perform a specific task. You may also hear coding referred to as software programming or computer programming.
These instructions are communicated using a language that computers can understand, like visual blocks, JavaScript and Python.
Code lays the groundwork for our world's technology, from microprocessors in everyday items like refrigerators and water heaters to sophisticated programs that run our cars and buildings.
Learning to code has become an essential element of a child's education and a great way for them to express their creativity and imagination.
Technology is prevalent in virtually every aspect of our daily lives and has revolutionized today's world – think self-driving cars, robot-assisted surgery, social media, online banking, environmental conservation, and more. Understanding how to code has become an essential skill to compete in school and in the workforce.
Coding empowers children of all ages to become makers of technology by tapping into their ability to bring their imagination to life.
Kids, teens and youths who code excel at school in math and science, even reading, while developing a skill that will prepare them for future job opportunities.
Why should you learn to code?
What are the Careers in Coding?
We're living during a high-tech revolution, witnessing life-changing advancements in medicine, environmental conservation, and much more. At the core of all these fantastic projects and discoveries is code.
Coding jobs are in demand, and the Bureau of Labour Statistics (BLS) projects that computer and information technology employment will grow 13% between 2020 and 2030, which is faster than the average projected growth rate across all occupations (8%).
It's almost impossible to discuss industries or companies that don't have coding careers. Careers include web developer, software developer, game designer, database administrator, network systems administrator, data scientist, product manager, and app developer…and that are just a few of the amazing and high-paying jobs that come with knowing how to code. Coders also earn high salaries and can work remotely very efficiently.
My child is more artistic. What can coding do for them?
With Scratch, your child can create animations, and they can use Code.org for drawing projects.
Whether they're interested in art, animation, character creation, story-telling, or even music,
The Animation Tool: Does your child love writing stories and drawing characters? Well, now they can make their projects even better by creating their own animated artwork.
The Pen Blocks: Did you know that you can use Tynker to create colourful, original drawings with just a handful of code blocks
The Sound Blocks: Play music with code! Add custom sound effects, too. Tynker's brand new music tool supports MIDI and MP3. Choose from over 100 new instruments with slick new interface keys.
”Every day, they strive to improve their service to the clients by developing the right blend of technology and creativity to make sure every job done is done as efficiently as possible.”
- Clarice Turner
Safe space.
We have made security and self-awareness among the youths our core principle, a place where they can come and share with one another. It’s not something that we just strive for – we live by this principle every day.
