Welcome to Coding World !!!!

Today we are going to learn about Computer Programming

Computer programming is the process of building and designing an executable computer program for accomplishing a specific computing task. Programming involves tasks such as analysis, generating algorithms, profiling algorithms' accuracy and resource consumption, and the implementation of algorithms in a chosen programming language (commonly referred to as coding).

       The source code of a program is written in one or more programming languages. The purpose of programming is to find a sequence of instructions that will automate the performance of a task for solving a given problem. The process of programming thus often requires expertise in several different subjects, including knowledge of the application domain, specialized algorithms, and formal logic.

       Related tasks include testing, debugging, maintaining a program's source code, implementation of build systems, and management of derived artifacts such as machine code of compute programs. These might be considered part of the programming process, but often the term software development is used for this larger process with the term programming, implementation, or coding reserved for the actual writing of source code. Software engineering combines engineering techniques with software development practices


How Coding Can Help Your Child Excel

Coding is much more than a technical skill. It allows kids to interact in new ways with their digital worlds and become makers. Learning to code has been shown to strengthen computational thinking skills, and in the process, it’s giving kids an advantage in subjects like math and writing. It also helps foster creativity and organizational skills. And when they’re making amazing projects on their own, kids feel more confident in themselves and believe in their ability to create instead of consume technology.

Here are some of the ways that learning to code is good for your child:

Coding Is a Fun Way to Practice Math

The conventional belief has always been that kids interested in programming should develop strong math skills. But it might actually be the other way around. Educators and parents are talking about how computer programming can help children build math skills and make math learning more fun. Read more.

Coding Strengthens Writing Skills

Coding is a new creative medium that allows kids to combine their love of art and technology to tell interactive stories. When they learn to code and create digital storytelling projects, children acquire skills that improve their writing, and they have fun in the process. Read more.

Coding Develops Creativity

Today, research is showing that creativity is a skill that can be developed and learned at home and in our schools through the cultivation of three qualities:

1. An experimenter’s mindset
2. Whole brain thinking
3. An innate desire to be a creator (not just a consumer

Learning to code cultivates all three of these important qualities and helps kids grow creatively. Read more.

Coding Boosts Confidence

What is the benefit of creating with code? Do we want all of our kids to become programmers? Not necessarily. As parents, we want them to learn skills that might be important to their future success. We want our children to be confident, independent and resourceful problem-solvers. Read more.

Coding lies at the intersection of STEM and creativity, so it’s a great way for kids to both express themselves and develop critical thinking skills, while also exploring a potential future career. For girls especially, who are underrepresented in STEM fields, coding may be a unique entry point to get them interested in STEM. They can bring their own interests, such as art or animation, storytelling or sports, to build projects that they really care about.

If your child isn’t coding yet, it’s not too late to get started!😉
