Coding Classes For Kids<\/h2><\/div>

Coding is an important language to learn. With the demand for STEM workers continuing to increase, learning coding from an early age is a sure way to gain an advantage in today\u2019s competitive career world. Kids code games, websites and more. They learn how computers work, exercise creativity by coming up with ideas for how their project will look and feel, and build resilience and perseverance when trouble-shooting their code.<\/p>\n

Skills Learned: Resilience, Confidence, Internet Safety, Logic, Game Design, Beta-Testing<\/p>\n

Kids can start at a level at any time. They will advance to the next level once they have finished all the activities in their current level or when they are ready to move to the next level.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Coding Program for Kids FAQ<\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>What is coding for kids?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
Coding tells computers what they should do. It is a language that the computer understands. Coding for kids empowers kids to create digital technology, not just consume it. Coding allows kids to program their own video games, website, or app to whatever they want.<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Is coding good for kids?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
Yes! Coding not only teaches kids the valuable skill of actual coding, but it instills other skills. It teaches them about problem-solving and what to do if the code they originally built doesn\u2019t work the first time. They also learn how to collaborate with others who may have some good ideas for them and vice versa. Coding also lets kids use their creativity to the max. You never know what you can create until you try.<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>What is the best age to learn programming?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
Some people say kids can learn to code as young as age 5. Others say age 7 is more appropriate. It really depends on the child. If your child has the attention span at a younger age, you can give it a try. If it just doesn\u2019t work out, you can always wait a year or two.<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>How often are classes held?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
With MakerKids you can choose for your child to take a class weekly, daily, or through a private class. We also offer camps throughout the year that are also great ways to get kids interested in coding.<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>What are the technical requirements (For virtual classes only)<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
For your child to have everything they need to be successful in our Coding classes for kids, we recommend having the following items ready for each class:<\/p>\n
    \n
  • A laptop or desktop (with 4GB+ RAM)<\/li>\n
