Speaking in codes

Everybody is waiting for the next Facebook to explode on the internet. But if there’s anything we learned from Mark Zuckerberg, it is that someone who can write the codes can beat the person with the great idea.

The creation of design or plan for software is called programming. Codes are its language that carries the message of the human to the machine. It is necessary to implement the program that you want to put up. Coding is writing the process in a language that the computer can understand. Once the computer understands what it needs to do, it executes the set of instructions.

“The kids are always looking at tablet, they are hooked on the internet. It looks like they are just absorbing these things passively. So what else can they do besides play games? Since I own a software company, my friend and I thought, how about we teach them how to code. Coding for kids,” said John San Pedro, CEO and founder of incubixtech.com.

This is how the idea of My Kids Code was born. The program is a camp where children can learn how to write a programming language in the form of games. They use the software CodeMonkey to do so. The camp is open to children, ages six to 10. It is a six-session workshop that will run twice a week.

“Coding skill is a skill of the future. Instead of them just getting from the web and they are putting on the web,” San Pedro said.

He added that they researched on companies in this venture and found CodeMonkey. The developers based in Palo Alto, California, have taught the curriculum to children in the US. Now he wants the same thing to be done for children in the F2
