Blog #7 - Why Coding?

How can coding be integrated? Well, we talked about this in the last blog. When kids are interested in something especially like coding it can turn on interests in their brain. If you show kids how coding can make robots move, or making app kids will want to know the next question which is “How?”. Once the kids are hooked then you have them to help them learn. I could see coding like we did this week with sensors and motors and stuff going great with science and how electricity works.

This would change kids a ton! I have a few friends that have made a few apps and I wish I knew how to do that. I have an assistant coach who makes new programs for his computer for himself. When I look at these friends I see how coding is the way of future and when a kid is interested in how to do something you can teach him anything. Just the finch, and the hummingbird they can apply those lessons. My goals would to help excite the kids and to get their minds thinking how to make these things work it will change their lives, or gives them a good foundation for the future as mentioned in the article from time article here http://time.com/4261554/why-schools-should-teach-more-than-basic-coding/
