Enriching Education: How Coding Benefits Your Kids Right Now

If you’re new to the idea of coding classes for kids, you may be wondering why kids should learn coding in the first place. According to Code.org, there are nearly 430,000 open computing jobs nationwide right now, but only 71,226 students graduated with a computer science major last year. Plus computer science majors have the highest average starting salary after college. 

 

Kids don’t have to major in computer science to benefit from learning to code, though. So many jobs use coding that aren’t directly related to computer science and your child having that experience can easily place them ahead of other candidates. 

Skills Kids Learn Through Coding




What about right now, though? If your child is in elementary school, their future college major and career is a long way in the future. Coding helps students excel in school now by honing their problem solving skills, teaching them the benefits of perseverance, and strengthening their critical thinking skills.
