Teaching Coding as a Tool to develop Computational-Thinking in Children

Coding

With technology integrated into our daily lives, most kids today can navigate themselves in the virtual world and have likely had some experience with online learning. At UnicMinds, students can journey through the most comprehensive range of courses in computer-science, coding, and robotics, designed specifically for kids.

The most important thing our teachers emphasize is to impart the essential problem-solving skills and computational thinking in children. At the end of the day, the syntax of languages is after all not so important. What is more important is – the ability to think logically and to organize that thinking into algorithms and problem-solving using different programming languages and platforms as tools.

As computer-scientists ourselves, we are highly cognizant of the fact that eventually programming languages and platforms are tools. A language like C++ will have different advantages over a language like JavaScript. The applications and types of use are different, but essentially they’re all tools to solve a problem or get something done. Learning coding is akin to learning to ride a bike. Yes, there are different types of bikes and you will use them for different needs. But, the rock-bottom logic to ride a bike remains the same, and it is very important you learn that.

Our curriculum across our coding courses for kids is designed to provide children this skeletal framework of computational and algorithmic thinking for problem-solving. Once you learn this skeletal framework of algorithmic thinking and problem-solving in our Basic and Intermediate courses, you can then graduate to our Advanced courses and solve complex problems in data-structures, computer mathematics, computer networks, graph theory, encryption mathematics, and more.

It is not just about teaching coding to kids, it is more about helping them to learn how to solve real problems using coding as a tool. We design our courses to ensure that children become sharp and develop excellent problem-solving skills using basic programming structures and even advanced programming structures. Our students have successfully passed coding olympiads, school coding competitions, tough computer-science courses involving algorithm development and mathematics, and advanced courses in computer-science.

We provide a range of courses starting from block-based courses to intermediate text based coding courses and then advanced courses such as machine-learning for kids and ethical-hacking course for teenagers. We can also customize courses for your child, if required, mixing multiple learning needs required specifically. For example, we have children who have already learnt python programming now wanting to learn advanced python programming with key machine-learning concepts integrated into their classes.
