Welcome to Coding for Kids! This course is a gentle introduction to Python coding.
What is coding?
Coding is writing logical instructions for a computer to follow. In our modern world, coding is used to create computer programs that power the microchips in your microwave, car, phone and every modern device you know.
Why learn to code?
Learning to code is learning to think creatively. If you can code a computer then you can think and apply yourself logically and rationally to tackle any obstacle or challenge you face in life. It is a wonderful life skill for your child to build.
Why Python?
Python is an extremely flexible coding language that is used by many professionals, including scientists, researchers, and engineers. It is straightforward and approachable and an excellent choice for children beginning their coding journey.
