Teaching advanced coding for kids is a great way to make sure that students are prepared for the future. It’s also an excellent skill to have as a teacher or parent and can help children become more technologically literate. In this article, we will discuss three ways you can teach advanced coding skills to your child:
1) Think Like A Programmer – This means breaking down any problem into small steps, so it makes sense to a student. You want them to learn how computers calculate everything they do, which is not intuitive for most people at first glance. So you need them to think about what those calculations would be ahead of time. For example, if you want to program a turtle to move forward in Minecraft, you would first have to tell the turtle what direction it should go (left or right), then how far it should travel in that direction.
2) Scratch programming language – This very simple programming language allows the user to drag and drop blocks of code together. It makes it easy for kids just starting out with coding to actually do something fun, like animate an image or create music.
3) Programming With Minecraft – This advanced way of using Minecraft uses Javascript as its foundation, which you can use in other web development.
In conclusion, there are many different ways to get into coding. Whichever way you choose, it is important that you keep practicing and learning as much as possible.
