Learning coding at a young age makes kids better thinkers and communicators. This leads to more innovations, which is certainly beneficial throughout life. Even if later they decide that they want to be musicians, artists or something else, thinking logically can be advantageous in the long run. Critical thinking and problem-solving are skills that are important way outside computer science. In life, we often need to break challenges into small tasks so we can see the big picture. Coding requires analyzing different situations and thinking about what might happen and, when we translate this into real life skills, kids will learn how to make decisions that will make large and overwhelming goals easy to reach. If children learn how to code when they are young, they will develop fluidity in their thinking, which means they will be able to tell a story in exact particular order. Because many children use video games to learn to code, they know how to follow or even create their story line or code sequence. The Ozobot robots will be used in each of the 3rd-5th classrooms during their designated tech times to introduce them to coding in a different way and create a fun and exciting experience that goes along with it.
