Frequently asked questions

Is coding for kids good?
We're living during a high-tech revolution, witnessing life-changing advancements in medicine, environmental conservation, and much more. At the core of all these amazing projects and discoveries is CODE. There's a lot of exciting and imaginative work going into new technology from coders all around the world, transforming fields you wouldn't normally expect and creating huge opportunities for your child in the future.
As kids and teens learn to code, they also build essential skills like critical thinking, logic, and problem-solving. They learn to logically sequence events, create playable games, tell good stories, and model real situations. They also learn computational thinking by developing algorithmic and design thinking abilities. Learning to code has become an essential element of a child's education and an excellent way to express their creativity and imagination. -
