The beginning years of any individual learning to code is a very crucial moment where they can create a crucial foundation for a lifelong journey into coding. Students will learn to think and speak to computer by using the application that they learn. Why should students learn coding though? Well, in present day, coding is the basic literacy and it is so important that students are able to use and understand the technology around them. At DataWiz Academy, we offer three crucial topics for students of various ages which include Scratch, Snap! and Python. Scroll below for more information!

Fun with Scratch (6+)

Scratch is a programming language and an online community where children can program and share interactive media such as stories, games, and animation with people from all over the world. As children create with Scratch, they learn to think creatively, work collaboratively, and reason systematically.
