Coding Games

 We have a series of coding games available for all ages. Here are some benefits for coding for kids;

Coding games Teach People How to Think Critically.

In a world where information can easily be distorted (on and offline), it’s important that children learn how to think critically, especially when it comes to solving problems and interacting with others.

With the case of coding games such as the board game, children learn how to think critically by creating a sequence of “code” using a set of game cards drawn at each turn in order to gather the most “cheese” on the board. From there, they can “direct” their parents as to how they should gather “the cheese” however they want to. Parents can also be the ones to “lead” their kids, if they want to.

Even though most of these games come with tutorials that “teach” people how to win at these games, it is only by actually playing the games that children learn to develop critical thinking skills. 

Build Creativity

Whether it’s solving the world’s most complicated math problem or building a unique website, having both an analytical and creative mindset are necessary to create the things that people want to create.

With the case of the game, children learn not only how to make games using real-life programming languages, but also how to make those games their own without using a manual of any type. This in turn helps the child build his or her creativity in more than one way, which also helps them to develop good problem-solving skills.

Teach People to Adapt and Overcome Any Problem

Coding, much like learning how to cook, is about learning what works and doesn’t work. By playing coding games, people can not only understand how coding works, but also how life works. Let’s face it, even adults need to act like a kid every once in a while.
