Learning HOW TO CODE is not hard at all for kids these days. In fact, if you are just looking for your child to learn to code, we would not advise you to spend money on any workshop or program. There are plenty of free resources available online that will teach your child some coding in less than a month.
Why then, you may ask, do we offer such a prolific technology program here at Thinking Feet?
At Thinking Feet, we do not believe in spoon feeding code - we do not simply tell students what to do. Many programs take that approach but then your child is essentially learning how to follow instructions in technology.
At Thinking Feet, we do hold their hands in the early learning stages but very soon we let our students lead the way through a unique classroom methodology that fosters brainstorming, creative thinking and Technology Leadership.
Our students learn to take risks & chances, and embrace failure along the way to learning and success. This has implications beyond just technology enrichment. This journey of coaching and development takes time, which is why our programs span 8 - 12 weeks per unit. To meet this objective, we develop our own curriculum...none of the available online curriculum (free or paid) come even close to what we offer.
What do our classrooms look like?
In our classrooms, you will find a lot of student participation, diverse sets of ideas and thoughts flying all across. Students will experiment, make mistakes and learn as they go through their coding journey. The energy is palpable.
Students learn as much if not more from each other's creative thoughts, as they do from the coach.
