Why Code?

Coding is the next necessary language today for tomorrow’s future. When coding is introduced early to children, it exposes them to new ways of thinking and they learn that they do not only have to consume technology by they can create and explore with technology into a myriad of areas of interest from music to Artificial Intelligence.
 

Coding enhances the creative and analytical process in kids, It allows them to understand that any problem where on the computer can be faced if you unpack the problem in smaller pieces present easier and manageable ways of handling the situation. This also builds the kids
emotional intelligence and their capacity for handling pressure environments in their lives.
