What is coding? Coding is simply communicating with computer using a language that a computer understands to give it instructions. It is important for children to learn how to code as it enables them to have skills such as problem -solving, abstract thinking and so many more.
Programming helps give children a better understanding on how computers work and how software engineers solve problems logically and creatively using math. Being able to solve problems is a skill we need to have generally. Coding gives children a chance to try and try until they can solve a problem and get a positive result. That way it helps them know that failure is not such a bad thing and they learn from their mistakes.
Decomposition is one of the major features of computational thinking. Coding is not only about typing lines of code but it requires one to be able to break down a large problem into smaller pieces in order to solve the problem. That way children are also able to think differently and creatively.
Coding is the future! Being able to code or having coding skills is an advantage as the world is changing and technology is taking over. Computer programmers are in high sought in the software industry, there are more employment opportunities.
Having children learn how to code will secure them a successful life in future as they will be able to have a broadened knowledge about technology and how computers work.
