In today’s digital world, coding is a fundamental skill alongside math and reading, but too few kids have the opportunity to learn to program because it is rarely taught in school.
A Tech Academy’s mission is to create a fun and engaging platform where children not only learn to program, but also have opportunities to be creative using code.
Students use technology tools to find, explore, analyse, exchange and present information responsibly and creatively. They learn how to employ technology to enable rapid access to ideas. Increased capability in the use of computing promotes initiative and independent learning, with students being able to make informed judgments about when and where to use computing to best effect, and to consider its applications for home and work, both now and in the future.
Learning to code with A Tech Academy is engaging and fun. Students rapidly learn fundamental programming concepts as they animate characters, control virtual robots, and publish apps.

Why learning to code is so important for children:
-
Coding drives innovation. From self-driving cars to robot-assisted surgery to social media, computer science is revolutionizing every aspect of our lives. Coding is a fundamental skill that children need to learn so they can lead this movement.
-
Coding allows kids to be creative. They can create projects that do really amazing things.
-
Coding builds confidence. It is incredibly empowering for children to be able to create projects and show them off to family and friends.

Coding is best learned early. Learning to code is similar to learning a second language. The earlier students are exposed to fundamental topics like sequencing, loops, and conditionals, the more deeply they absorb these concepts.
-
Coding translates to success in other areas. Learning to program supports learning in other areas, like math, reading, and science.
