About Us

Code Karo Yaaro, An online coding school for kids from 6 years to 15 years old.

Gone are the days when programming languages and learning how to code was like a top secret for kids, parents were like not to give them electronic gadgets for exploring the uses of it. And the mobile phones, tablets, computers and laptops all were kept away from kids' surroundings.

By the time the technology revolution took place everything had changed from traditional to digital platforms. Now, Websites, Mobile Apps, Web Apps, Gaming Apps are part of our daily life.

We all are digitally connected with each other with social sites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, etc.

We are utilizing technology for our purpose, we should also propose opportunities of learning how to code to kids so that they can explore more into technology via our programming and coding courses.

Our objective is very clear towards kids' development by teaching them programming languages, block coding, python coding, etc., and opening a new world of opportunities with fun and creativity for them.

Programming today shares similarities with technical skills of the past, such as being an electrician or a carpenter. It takes years and years of hard work and dedication to become proficient and experienced enough to begin producing high quality output. The irony here, however, is that as we further develop artificial intelligence, those technical jobs will disappear almost entirely because of programming. Going forward, programming will be a requirement for most jobs; it increases productivity and efficiencies even in non-prototypical programming roles. For instance, in finance, an analyst who knows how to use the visual basic for applications language can turn slow and clunky workbooks into high performance models that cut run-time down immensely. Or the marketing professional who needs to collect and analyze large data sets to understand what the target market wants to spend their money on, can perform correlation techniques in Python or R. What does this mean for kids entering the workforce in the next decade or two? It means for them to separate themselves from their peers, they should begin learning the benefits and applications of programming. Not only will it set them up for success in their future jobs, but it provides them with critical thinking skills that will further their ability to analyze arguments and develop their opinions earlier in life. With the access to the available technology and software, such as Apple’s Swift Playgrounds app and Google’s Project Bloks, kids today have an amazing opportunity for learning how to program and to make it a lasting hobby.

Today, the United States is far behind when it comes to math and science proficiency compred to the rest of the world, as we are ranked 35th and 27th out of 64 countries, respectively. This alludes to a lack of importance we give these subjects early on, which can be further exasperated later on in education when students are introduced to greater complexity in the subject and inevitably show a fear of math and science due to their unfamiliarity with the subjects. This could be altered by introducing the students to subjects that utilize math and science without them being the primary focus. This void can ultimately be filled by programming. Programming forces the user to create programs that run more efficiently to cut down on memory usage, and in the end, to run faster. This skill drills down a logical thought process that instills stronger critical thinking skills which can be transferred to math as well as reading and writing.

So how do these kids get started? As mentioned before, Apple’s Swift Playground app is an excellent resource for learning the logic of programming. It can drill down techniques and rules for programming, however, it only begins to scratch the surface. As these kids begin to get better, and show a strong curiosity for learning the endless possibilities of programming, there are a multitude of websites to create consistency and familiarity. Khan Academy, Hour of Code, and CodeAcademy are just a few. A website called projecteuler.net provides the user with math problems ranging broadly in difficulty. This enables the user to gradually increase the difficulty of the problems they attempt to solve, and in the process gives them the confidence they need to continue exploring the other possibilities of programming.

Learning this skill set is best done through practice, practice, and a lot more practice. The more problems a programmer is put in position to solve, the better he or she becomes. Many high schools today are introducing programming classes as extra curricular courses to get students started, but it would be even better if they were started earlier. Students are learning different spoken languages as early as middle school, so it wouldn’t be unreasonable to think programming could be introduced at the same time, if not earlier. A study by the Frankfurt International School, has concluded that students learn a second language best between the ages of 11 and 13, which is because of their ability to soak up new information.

But I see much deeper and broader reasons for learning to code. In the process of learning to code, people learn many other things. They are not just learning to code, they are coding to learn. In addition to learning mathematical and computational ideas (such as variables and conditionals), they are also learning strategies for solving problems, designing projects, and communicating ideas. These skills useful not just for computer scientists but for everyone, regardless of age, background, interests, or occupation.

Absolutely. Logo did it for me, a version called Logo Writer was amazing.  We did it in third grade. Also I have vague memories the Turtle in a five-day day camp at the Miami Museum of Science, I think in 1989 or 1990, when I would have been 8 or 9. However, the memories of coding were obliterated on the last day, when they wheeled out a TV/VCR cart for a movie, which was Star Wars.
