CODING

Coding is a mastery where you receive instructions and summarize them into a language the computer understands since computers do not communicate like humans. They communicate in a language called "binary" and it is used 0's and 1's. Coders correspond the instructions using a programming terminology. Computer coding is the use of computer programming languages to provide computers and machines instructions on what actions to perform. It is the way humans communicate with machines, and it allows us to develop software like programs, operating systems, and mobile apps.

Programming is difficult, but it's also extremely valuable and increasingly necessary. Many believe that just as basic computer skills went from the realm of specialists to a life skill everyone possesses, so too will programming become universal. Learning to code might become as commonplace as learning to read.

Language teaches children how to communicate and teaches logical thinking. The language also strengthens both verbal and written skills. Children should be exposed to different languages at an early age. It helps them to understand the world around them better. Coding has a language all its own. Every letter in the Alphabet has a special formula of 0’s and 1’s that represent it. These 0’s and 1’s give the technology around us directions on how to perform. What better way for our children to understand why and how the technology around them operates than by learning to code and speaking to the technology around them. By experimenting, children learn and strengthen their brains. Even when they make a mistake they learn. Children can be creative and creativity is encouraged. Creativity is part of the process and not always the product. Coding helps children to be able to visualize abstract concepts, lets them apply math to real-world circumstances and makes maths leisure and creative. Coding is present in many of today’s STEM programs. Children who learn to code understand how to plan and organize thoughts. This can lead to better writing skills that can be built upon as coding skills develop over time. As they learn to code and give direction they learn that there is no one way to do something and that even if their way didn’t work. They can improve upon what they have already done without worrying about failing. Coding is a basic literacy in the digital age, and it is important for kids to understand and be able to work with and understand the technology around them. Having children learn coding at a young age prepares them for the future. Coding helps children with communication, creativity, math, writing, and confidence.

Learning to code positively affects all areas of your life and gives you a newfound sense of energy to really pursue the goals you want in life. A lot of people think that this positive impact is limited to improving your technical skills and ability to use a computer, but it's so much more than that. Programmers do think differently than other people, but coding involves attention, language, memory, maths, logic, and creativity that should be enough to keep your brain busy and healthful.
