18 Nov WE ARE PREPARING YOUR KIDS FOR THE FUTURE.
It is time we look beyond the future for our kid/children, being a fast learner in their study, we make sure we prepare them for the innovating ideas they desire to accomplish in the future. Studies have shown that by the year 2030 technology would have taken over the world even up to our day to day jobs would be taken over by robots. The only way to stand out and be prepared for this is to start building and understanding new technologies. Regardless of the career path, your kids decide to take in the future technology is going to be a huge part of it. This is why we are preparing kids for the future.
We observe that the next generation of education: Should we be teaching kids to code?
As our world evolves to embrace new technologies, so does our education system: Here, we discuss if our society should be teaching kids to code.
Although a lot of people struggle to see the creative side to coding, there is plenty of evidence that children and young adults enjoy the creative aspect of their computing education. When answering a survey about why they chose to learn coding at school, the top answer given by the group of Nigerian teenagers was “I don’t know about coding” “Our school is not aware of STEM program ” (60 per cent of female respondents and 40 per cent of male respondents).
Many elements of modern computing education include creativity. After kids get to grips with coding, they will understand the link it has with storytelling, as it follows a similar ‘beginning middles, and end’ structure. As well as coding, children who get the opportunity to learn mobile application development experience a fantastic opportunity to be creative and think outside the box in a way that adults often can’t.
Plugging the STEM skill gap
As well as enjoyment, children will also get fantastic career prospects out of the computing element of their curriculum. The science and technology sector is the fastest going area of employment and, as it stands, there simply aren’t enough people to fill all the job opportunities. Although it may seem like an extremely long-term goal when teaching these skills to a five-year-old, learning these skills at a young age will brilliantly equip young people to enter into a constantly evolving workforce.
