Why CODING ?
The world is moving forward at an unimaginably fast face and it is important to equip children with the knowledge and skills that will help them succeed in the future. It is almost impossible to ignore the importance of coding in today's world. Almost every human being that exists right now has been influenced by some form of coding or the other. In such a world where code is everywhere, many have talked about why learning to code is important and beneficial for every person. Hence, introducing coding to children at an early age can have a lot of benefits.
What Is CODING ?
Coding, to put it simply, is using computer language to tell a computer what to do. The skills necessary for coding include being able to analyze a problem, break it down, engage critical thinking, and logic. This “thinking” element is often referred to as computational thinking. “Coding” is, in a way, a shorthand name for a broader set of skills necessary for navigating an age of technology.
Why Teach CODING ?
With technology being everywhere, it is important for students to not only know how to use it, but to understand how it works. Through coding, students are developing skills in how to break apart complex problems, how to develop complex solutions etc. Even if students do not become programmers in the future, they will be able to use the skills developed from learning how to code in any field of work they choose to pursue in the future.
How Will CODING Be Taught ?
With our vast experience in education sector, we have seen a broad view of technology and coding in K-12 education. For us, coding is not the end goal but the means. We envisage teaching coding with Our Rainbow Methodology.
What is RAINBOW Methodology ?
Just like how a white light has a spectrum of seven colors we look at coding as a combination of 7 different concepts. With a holistic approach, we cover these seven concepts as per the level of the student. As the student progresses across levels they are skilled with a project based approach to demonstrate the same.
CODING & MATH ?
Math and coding are deeply related. When teaching coding, we are at the same time delivering mathematical content. Students will acquire these mathematical skills and abilities without even noticing it, and while having fun.
Coding, at the bottom line, is math. In order to write a line of code that works well, and that is completely bug-free, coders need to strengthen their algorithmic thinking and computational thinking.
