Why programming?
###New paradigm in skills
Every era has its own essential skills. During the Stone Age we taught our kids how to make tools and weapons, later on we taught them how to grow vegetables.
Much later the big thing was to learn how to read and count. Now the kids learn foreign languages and how to speak in public. But one thing is missing in the most schools.
The computational thinking and understanding of the digital era. So, how do we prepare the {{kids of today for tomorrow}}? One step is to learn programming.
That’s why we created Kids Hack Club.
Giving kids an //introduction to the world of programming// helps peel of the layers of what happens inside computers and how computers communicate with one another online and most important.
– Coding is really fun!
Some of the things we use in our curriculum are
- Scratch (from MIT)
- Aurduino
- Sphero SPRK
