Improve academic skills and sets children on a path to life-long learning – technology is continuously advancing at an exponential pace. Learning to code helps children learn how to learn, and how to do it quickly. This helps in not only keeping up with technology, but in learning any new skill throughout life.
It is easier to learn to code as a child – anyone can learn to code but starting the development of an engineering mindset at an earlier age helps children get ahead of the game. It’s a simple equation, the more time spent practicing any skill, the better one will be; starting young gives children more time to reach mastery.
Improves the logical thought process – coding revolves around logic and decision making. The constructs used to tell a computer what to do can be applied to making decisions throughout life to help children make well thought out, intelligent decisions when it really matters.
Great for career prospects, both in technology and other industries/roles – jobs in coding and technology are ever expanding, and the compensation is truly great, but learning to code isn’t only beneficial in becoming a technologist. Workers in almost every industry, especially leaders, benefit greatly by knowing at least a little about coding.
Opens the doors to limitless possibilities – learning to code gives children the ability to create anything they can dream of. The feeling of knowing you can build anything empowers children to do so.
