Coding Knight - Basic coding course for children aged 5.5 - 7

Coding Knight is not just the most basic coding course at Algorithmics for children aged 5.5-7. It's also a journey of exploration for essential skills and critical thinking needed for the child's future. At this age, children are eager to explore and learn many new things in their surroundings. So this is the most suitable time to learn programming.

Why should children learn coding at 5.5 years old?

During a child's development:

• 0-3 years: The focus is on physical development, language acquisition, and developing observation and exploration skills.
• 3-5 years: Besides robust physical development, children begin to build their vocabulary and grammar. Alongside, the formation of logical thinking and problem-solving skills starts.
• 5-7 years: This is when children make significant progress in logical thinking and the ability to explore and understand the world.

At the age of 5-7, involving children in various activities helps them become more versatile and diversifies their skills. This stimulates children to discover their interests and develop their potential for the future. Moreover, this phase is the most robust period of development. Thus, to enhance logical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and soft skills like teamwork, presentation, children should be nurtured during this time.

Coding Knight's coding curriculum

This basic coding course primarily helps children understand programming concepts and develop soft skills and good learning habits. The course covers:

• Introduction to algorithm concepts, memory blocks, and programs.
• Familiarization with loop algorithms and recognizing pattern structures.
• Introduction to Scratch Jr and starting their first project.
• Combining learned skills to create short animations.
• Learning about the "event" block to create games.
• Game development mechanism for group projects.
• Using all acquired skills to create various projects.

What can children do after the Coding Knight course?

After completing this basic coding course, children aged 5.5-7 have not only gained foundational programming knowledge but have also developed various soft skills:

• Grasped fundamental algorithm concepts, memory blocks, and programs.
• Explored, built, and published projects on Scratch Jr.
• Planned, constructed, and creatively designed interactive animated games following a dynamic brain process. This includes scriptwriting, editing, and publishing.
• Developed critical thinking, creativity, logic, and mathematics skills.
• Gained soft skills such as communication, self-organization, time management, and teamwork.

To nurture your child's critical thinking and develop soft skills from an early age, learning programming from 5.5-7 years old is an optimal choice.
