Coding and Programming
If you thought learning Tetris in school was cool, look at what some students learn nowadays. Many schools around the world introduce coding and programming at an early age. Kids learn languages like Scratch, Python, or JavaScript to create their programs and games. Many kids are learning how to make their video games and design their websites.
According to Geek Edu, “Early elementary school is the optimum time for children to begin coding. Strengthening cognitive skills through coding helps to plant seeds for eventual complex knowledge. We have confidence that the optimal age for children to begin learning to code is around the age of 6-7.” The earlier they learn to code, the better they’ll be in adulthood (Geek Edu).
