At FunTech we believe coding is a valuable skill that all kids should be taught. It is very important today and will continue to be so in their future digital world. Most kids and teenagers learn to code because they want to start developing their own games, and as they grow older, might do so to help them pursue a career in computing.
However, what’s not as well-known as a benefit of coding is how it can improve logical thinking skills. Logical thinking is the process where kids can use reasoning and critical thinking to then solve problems and make better informed decisions.
Logical thinking involves breaking down more complex problems into smaller, more manageable chunks. This helps kids identify logical patterns and the relationships between them.
By learning to code with FunTech, kids can develop their logical thinking skills by applying these same problem-solving techniques to programming challenges.
Research has shown that coding can have a positive impact on cognitive development, particularly in the areas of logical thinking and problem-solving. This is because coding requires children to think systematically and logically.
As a result, when kids learn to code, they can become more analytical and detail-oriented when solving problems at school and at home, or in other areas of their lives.
How coding can help to develop logical thinking
When we teach kids to code, we show them how to break down complex problems into smaller, more manageable parts. This is just how logical thinking works. By learning to code, kids will develop their logical thinking skills and improve their ability to analyse and solve problems.
Think of it like this… when writing code, kids have to think through each step of the process and consider all possible outcomes. This requires a high level of attention to detail and the ability to identify and solve problems systematically.
Another way coding helps kids to develop logical thinking is by encouraging them to think creatively. When writing code, kids need to come up with innovative solutions to complex problems.
In addition to these benefits, coding also helps develop other important skills, such as attention to detail, perseverance, and patience.
We’ve previously expanded on these points in our blog about why coding is important for kids. Here’s an overview:
- Coding helps kids build confidence.
- Coding inspires kids to view the world differently (and logically).
- Coding lets kids explore their creativity.
- Coding improves kids’ storytelling skills.
- Coding can lead to improved career opportunities as they get older.
FunTech – computer coding summer camps!
At FunTech we offer coding and tech camps for kids and teens, plus new online coding courses.
Through nurturing, engaging, and stimulating their technological interests we will prepare them for the digital age.
Little people often have big aspirations, and we want to empower kids by learning in a fun, hands on and challenging environment which shows them why coding is important in an engaging way.
Our forward-thinking curriculum is at the heart of our tech camp experience; and we use innovative digital platforms and practical projects to teach real tech skills.
