Do you have a wannabe coder, science lover or tech enthusiast in your house? The benefits of learning coding, game development and IT skills allow children to build a pathway for their future. Whether they are interested in this field or not, giving them the opportunity to experience these skills is essential to their development.
Coding
Coding is the future – where kids of the past learnt writing with pen and ink, children of today need to learn to code. To be successful in the future, being fluent in basic technologies will go a long way.
Game Development
Modding – the process by which players customise game characters’ appearance and develop new game levels, allows for creative development, self-expression and problem solving.
Javascript, Web and App Development
Designed to introduce children to a mainstream textual programming language in a gradual manner, comparing with Scratch to help them understand the world better. This often open children’s eyes to the world of WordPress, HTML and CSS.
