Crack the Code to STEM Learning!

Published 22 days ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader!

Computers are everywhere, so it is important that we introduce kids to computer coding so they develop an understanding of how technology works. Coding activities for kids can start as early as preschool to introduce the concept of computer programming, computer science, technology and STEM. By using coding activities for kids, students can learn important problem solving skills, critical thinking skills and even basic programming logic.
