So when I read the online news the day before yesterday, I saw the story of Fisher Price’s new toy, which was designed to introduce the code to non school children for the first time. \
This may seem a bit too much on the surface, but it’s actually a great thing. The earlier children are exposed to this way of thinking, the easier it will be to master more complex technologies in the future. Code-a-pillar is not the first toy of this type, but it is the first toy for young people. Another notable code indicating toy is dash and dot. The toy consists of two robots (one moving and the other not moving). They can listen to commands, make sounds, turn on the flash and sense motion. The robot can be programmed using an application called \
And almost everything is like this. These toys remind me of the word printing press and the next generation of encoders. Can more people become developers through this kind of early learning? We are not sure about that, but the deployment of the early learning model should not be detrimental to achieving this goal. It has been believed for many years that involvement in learning is one of the best ways to learn a new language. Different from the traditional language learning classroom, the traditional language learning classroom only forces students to participate in foreign language learning at a specific time, and immersive projects require students to \
In fact, compared with traditional programs, immersive programs are more effective in promoting language acquisition. This learning mode gives you a lot of ideas about the process of learning code and programming. Ultimately, the various coding languages are just languages. In other words, a similar learning model will be adopted. Although there are many foreign language immersion learning programs, there are not many programs for immersion coding training. Because the purpose of the code is different from the language, if the model allows you to play with the language, you can understand why you don’t translate directly. Early coding education programs lack input-oriented coding education, so some early coding education programs aim to introduce coding concepts at a young age. Most of these projects are conducted at personal speed and are provided in the form of online courses to match the schedule. The
Youth digital. This program is designed for children between the ages of 8 and 14 to help them learn coding, design and development. Browse animation, server design, application design and other courses. Tinker. Through this subscription based online course, children can learn programming by accessing tutorials, exercises, tools and jigsaw puzzles. The guided learning module will help children learn how to command robots, make applications and make games. Code. Org Through this free module, children can travel with many popular characters and learn all the contents of basic coding.
. The
Music box. This monthly subscription box is full of good information to teach children how to code. Targeting children between the ages of 6 and 12 helps you build something wonderful with code. Alice Alice is a free 3D programming environment that teaches children everything about computer programming through a visual interface. Most importantly? free Move the tortoise. This iPhone and iPad app can help children over the age of 5 learn the basics of coding through the visual interface. Scratch This is a block based coding module that can create stories, animations and games that children are willing to share with anyone. The
Children’s ruby. Kids Ruby program provides practical Ruby code teaching for children who want to receive more code training. And these are just a few of the programs that are currently emerging. Depending on the child’s age and skill level, you can also use more things. Wordcamp’s children’s audio track androg Wordcamp has long been a place where all people in the WordPress world get together to learn and share. Therefore, it is perfect to ensure that the children’s track is firmly on the agenda. Of course, the content of the children’s project varies according to the specific word camp, but we have seen the emergence of many children’s audio tracks in the word camp for children seminar and many activities. The
In fact, there is also the first kid’s panel for the upcoming Wordcamp Miami. Although the new generation of code immersion learning is not the standard of code education at present, more and more projects are designed for children every year. Moreover, there are more opportunities than ever for children to gain experience in the field of programming. Do you think the listing of code-a-pillar and other toys will become a new generation of developers? How do you think the early learning project can cultivate the focus on coding, and more people will pursue coding as their career? I would like to hear your thoughts below. The
