Why is child programming so hot now?

1, improve abstract logical thinking and creativity

Programming is a discipline with strict logic, which requires children to constantly train logical thinking in the process of systematic learning. At the same time, few disciplines can let children's imagination have wings like programming, and constantly use programming to realize the whimsy in their minds, from an animated game to a tool application for solving real problems.

2. Be able to think and solve problems independently.

When children realize their creativity through programming, once bugs appear, they need to constantly debug, think and analyze the causes of the problems, and adjust programs and procedures to solve the problems.

3. Improve the competitiveness of choosing a school for further study.

Many primary and secondary school competitions recognized by the Ministry of Education are related to programming, such as the National Youth Creative Programming Competition and Intelligent Design Competition, and the NOIP Informatics Olympic League. Although the results of these competitions are no longer allowed to be used as the basis for junior and senior high school enrollment, they are still very important reference projects.

The advantages of studying abroad and choosing a school are obvious.

In the hot spots of studying abroad in Europe and America, programming education is generally paid more attention, and computer programming will become one of the graduation standards of American high schools. Children learn programming from childhood, integrate into European and American education, and gain more obvious competitive advantages in the process of studying abroad and choosing schools.

Learning path planning

Starting from 1 grade, it is suggested to start from scratch, cultivate interest, train logical thinking and get in touch with classical algorithms to lay a good foundation for code programming learning;

From the fourth and fifth grade, gradually transition to code language programming, you can choose Python or C++ to continue learning:

If the child is a senior, but has not been exposed to programming, it is recommended to start with Scratch. Never start learning advanced or code programming just because you are a senior. Once a child's interest or confidence is frustrated, it is not worth the loss.
