Amazing Kids learners open doorways for themselves on the internet through programming. These whiz kids aspire to be creators of the future electronic evolution of the. This generation has taken the world by storm in the evolution of electronics.

One of Amazing Kids’ brilliant minds is Veikko Kapiya who has taken a liking to the world of programming. “It is interesting because I am able to materialise my dreams through computer programs,” says the learner when asked why writes code. “Coding is a skill that anyone can acquire, it just requires determination, hard work and an interest in problem solving,’’ he says with an innovative voice.

Another brilliant learner is Berhane Wheeler who has achieved coding to a level of creating a game. “The importance of programming is to provide solutions for everyday problems in a computerized manner,” says wheeler in a sophisticated manner. “The ability for the modern society to thrive, depends on the technological advancements introduced to the world through programming,” He says. “I would love to be able to find errors in outdated code and perfect it for future generations,” wheeler proclaimed.

Amazing kids has established great foundations to allow the minds of learners to flourish through the discipline of computers. Computer programming is defined as the process of designing and building an executable computer program to accomplish a specific computing result. Computer programming has gradually taken over the manually under developed world. In addition, new languages as well as development environments are evolving and this allows people to have better and more efficient experiences.

Kapiya is a current grade 11 learner and his veneration for programming began with the highly ranked opportunities it proffers. “Programmers create new opportunities due to the moderate advancement of technology. Hence, experienced programmers are hard to find due to the educational needs. They are prompt to earn a higher salaries!’’ said Kapiya. Amazing kids offers all the resources to ensure that that all learners choose a career that secures their future and the future of their country. Furthermore, programmers always have a motivating sense of accomplishment when they create something that satisfies the needs of the next person.

In a nutshell, programmers are creative. There are no limits to the creation of new programs when a programmer has the ability to write computer software. Amazing kids is proud of the progress learners are making when it comes to programming. They are in the making!

Why kids should learn to code

Coders are in high demand

1. Learning to code will increase your odds of securing a STEM career, especially in a world where computing jobs are growing at over twice the national average.

2. Coding provides a competitive advantage when applying to colleges, internships, and jobs

You instantly appear more desirable in the eyes of potential college admissions officers and employers when you possess a skill such as coding and programming.

3. With coding knowledge, students better understand the world around them

Basic programming knowledge can change the way we interact with the technologies we use daily, and can open our eyes to the infinite possibilities of coding.

4. Coding is fun and satisfying

While programming is logic-based, it’s also an extremely creative activity. If you know how to code, you can develop the aforementioned apps, video games, websites, and more!

5. Coding improves creativity

When you learn a language, you use it to express yourself. The same is true with code. Coding empowers kids to not only consume digital media and technology, but to create it. Instead of simply playing a video game or using an app, they can imagine making their own video game, or envision what their own website, or app might look like—and they’ll have the outlet for expression.

6. Coding improves problem solving

When kids code, they take complex problems and break them down into smaller parts. Kids learn what it’s like to approach a problem the way a software engineer does, with logical, computational thinking.

7. Coding improves persistence

Learning to code, like any new discipline, is a challenge. Thus, tackling complex problems—and making mistakes along the way—can be very frustrating.

8. Coding improves collaboration

Every student can learn, and every student can learn how to code—kids can learn alongside others of every race, gender, or background. Kids meet and learn how to collaborate with all kinds of peers, all joined by a common interest in technology.

9. Coding improves communication.

Communication is an absolutely essential skill throughout school, work, and life. People who can clearly communicate complex ideas in simple terms tend to be successful in different industries and walks of life.
