The digital world that we live in is built on lines of code and binary numbers. Programming languages dictate everything right from your mobile phone to the rockets launched into outer space.
However, there’s still a lack of awareness about how to teach coding and the right way to introduce kids to the world of programming languages and software design.
In fact, even a large number of schools and colleges tend to either partially introduce coding for kids at a young age or simply teach them programming languages and tools they’re not ready for.
Kids are typically very smart and wiser than we give them credit for. But there’s a learning path that every child must follow to understand and excel at coding regardless of the career path they choose. Moreover, it is important that we tell kids, coding is fun!
What Is Coding For Kids?
Coding is the art of communicating with computers using programming languages, tools, and platforms. Coding is a form of art because it allows you to explore your creativity.
More importantly, it requires you to think and use logic to solve problems. Coding for kids thus becomes very useful because it allows them to broadly become:
Creators
Logical thinkers
Problem solvers
A child that learns any new language is introduced to it in a step by step manner. First, they learn the alphabet, then use it to make words, and finally put all the words together to make sentences and paragraphs.
Similarly, coding for kids involves starting off small, usually with block-based coding that is fun and interactive. At the same time, it helps kids visualize problems and encourages them to find appropriate solutions.
Block-based coding for kids involves a simple drag and drop mechanism. It’s easier than text-based coding which might be dense for kids in Grades 1-2.
Coding for kids is spread across tall and wide in domains like:
Game development
Artificial Intelligence
Mobile app development
3D coding & VR games
The projects are structured around captivating concepts like building simple games, creating stories with automated speech, and developing a virtual world in Minecraft or Roblox.
But that’s not all - coding is also fun! Well, it may not be elsewhere, but at Akshay Labs, we make coding for kids interesting by emphasizing learning and saying that it is okay to take your time and create modern coding art.
Summary: Coding for kids allows them to become thinkers and problem solvers with the help of block-based or text-based coding languages and visual projects on game development and AI.
Who Is ‘Programming For Kids’ For? (include age, required skills if any etc)
Programming is suitable for every kid starting from Grade 1! There’s no age limit to learn to code for kids as programming involves learning how to solve problems by being creative.
This can be achieved by teaching coding for kids using simple programming languages like MITScratch and easy to use platforms like HatchXR.
As kids become more proficient with these beginner-level programming languages and tools, they can gradually move on to more complex text-based coding using Python or JavaScript.
Stories and games remain the same in principle but the projects used to express both may change as kids become older and wiser.
For example, kids from Grade 1 may find it more interesting to tell stories through simple cartoon-like animations compared to a kid in Grade 12.
At the same time, kids in Grade 12 may find it more interesting to build self-driving cars and detect traffic signals using AI.
Thus, coding for kids across different ages makes use of different projects in terms of complexity and design to suit every age group.
Summary: Kids as young as 5 years old can learn how to code, however, it is important to give the child access to a structured and tolerable learning path with the help of interesting projects varying in the degree of complexity.
