MINICODERS

Think your kids are too young to learn to code? Think again. Coding (also called programming or developing) is telling a computer, app, phone or website what you want it to do. Some educators and experts are calling it the ‘new literacy’—a subject so important that every child needs to know the basics to excel in our rapidly changing world. “Becoming literate in code is as essential to being literate in language and math.” coding is a new type of literacy that should be available to everyone, starting at a young age. Yes, now even your 4 and 5 year old can learn the foundations of coding and computer commands before they can even write and spell words and even build their own stories and interactive games.
