The new guide explains that most children spend a significant amount of time using apps on their phone and their computer. However, this is a passive use of screen time that can be harnessed with creativity.
Robot Gem says that parents can turn their kids’ natural interest in digital media into productive learning activity. In doing so, they can shift away from being digital consumers to becoming digital creators.
Children learning coding will develop other key skills, including problem solving, teamwork, independence and creativity.
Robot Gem highlights that coding develops thinking skills, creativity and confidence. By taking an online course in coding, children get to utilize multiple areas of the brain, developing logical and process-oriented thinking.
In addition to this, working on coding projects can help to inspire creative thinking. It inspires the imagination, and challenges children to solve problems in dynamic ways.
The new guide from Robot Gem goes on to underscore that learning to code provides a new way of thinking about mathematical concepts. This allows course participants to contribute to other fields, and learn skills that can be applied to any role.
It states: “We hear all the time that Robots will be integrated into our lives everywhere; whether in hospitals, factories, banks or the agricultural industry. But aren’t we already surrounded by them? What makes the washing machine go round? What makes the light in the refrigerator turn on and the iRobot change direction when it’s facing a wall? Understanding the internal logic of the Robots we already have will help us engineer the Robots of tomorrow.”
With an online course, children can learn from the comfort of their own home. Courses benefit from student-teacher interaction, screen sharing, and a variety of other features.
