At Coco Coders, we believe that technology education is just as important as other school subjects - like math and science - but learning to code can also support a student’s broader learning.

In our coding classes, children don’t just follow instructions and copy what a teacher shows them - they really learn how to code.

As parents in a digital age, we’re generally advised to limit the time our kids spend on a screen each day. Some types of screen time are better than others though, so we’ve put together a short guide to the different types and how you can manage your child’s time on devices…

Coding games are a lot of fun and did you know that coding involves other subjects such as mathematics? Coding lends itself to being used in lots of different subjects, like mathematics, science, design technology, art, and geography! In honour of April being Mathematics Awareness Month, we have created a FREE coding activity for your child with step-by-step instructions for creating their very own calculator.

Here’s a FREE coding activity from one of our online coding lessons, which guides you through creating your very own time travel animation in Scratch…

It can be hard to get kids to sit down and eat at all, but what they consume can affect their level of focus and cognitive growth. The early years are especially critical for brain development. On average, children who have a higher consumption of unhealthy snacks and sugar-loaded drinks score lower on standardized tests. Additionally, deficiencies of nutrients such as iron and iodine can hinder cognitive and motor development. Often, these effects are permanent.

Choosing the right foods can help to ensure proper mental stability and growth, and also provide the right kind of energy to maintain focus, awareness and creativity. We picked 3 brain foods that are packed with nutrients and great for an easy AND healthy diet… 

Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) are important subjects for children to study because they help develop skills that kids need to become successful in their future careers. At Coco Coders, we’re focused on using STEM education to get kids #FutureReady by teaching core skills such as creativity, communication, and collaboration, through our award-winning coding curriculum.

At Coco Coders, we offer 60 minute interactive coding classes for kids. Each class is set up to challenge students and develop their abilities while encouraging creativity and collaboration. But how can they continue to practice coding between classes? If coding is their passion or they just enjoy doing it as a hobby, we have compiled a list of fun ways to practice coding between classes.

It is important to practice your skills outside the classroom so we made something special just for you. See below for our FREE coding activity with step-by-step instructions. Create your very own digital holiday card, and share it with your loved ones this Valentine’s Day. 

Coding classes for kids are a fun and interactive way for children to learn better mathematical skills, as well as creativity, collaboration and communication. You don’t need to be planning a career in coding to benefit from learning how to code.

As a coder and a father, I’ve always been keen for my kids to try their hands at programming. It’s not that I particularly want them to have careers as software developers — an understanding of the principles of code will give them a head start in…
