Why Coding For Kids?
We believe students who learn collaborative problem-solving computing skills early in their education will be equipped to become creators rather than just consumers of technology.
“To be prepared for the demands of the 21st century—and to take advantage of its opportunities—it is essential that more of our students today learn basic computer programming skills, no matter what field of work they want to pursue.”
—Todd Park
Former U.S. Chief Technology Officer
“Whether you want to uncover the secrets of the universe, or you just want to pursue a career in the 21st century, basic computer programming is an essential skill to learn.”
—Stephen Hawking

Skill of the 21st Century
With a lack of skills in the computing software industry, computer programming will be a sought-after skill for future jobs and internship opportunities. Kids who feel confident with coding can harness that technology in any career they choose.
Enhances problem-solving skills
Coding helps kids learn problem-solving skills and logic. It engages different parts of their brains and teaches kids to think sequentially while allowing them to be creative. Kids start to break down large problems into smaller parts to be able to solve them effectively.
Builds resilience in children
Coding presents kids with a challenge and teaches them to not give up in the face of adversity (or a code gone wrong). Bouncing back from failure fosters resilience in them!
What We Do

How We Are Different
We focus on fostering intellectual confidence, a growth mindset, and computational thinking skills through coding. Our self-paced, project-based teaching style provides a supportive space for students to develop and practice real-life learning strategies by building meaningful projects.
Coding is the language of the future but computer programming is much more than sitting in front of a screen and writing code – it involves critical thinking, creative expression, storytelling, and FUN!
At Computing Kids we’re not just teaching .. we’re building relationships and allowing our students to feel comfortable and confident as they learn and develop their coding knowledge.
