CODING
Coding is telling the computer what to do and how to do it. It makes up the base for all computer programs and is even used to tell robots what to do. We teach programming in an active and visual way, so our students can see what their program does as they make it. Learning programming teaches kids better problem-solving skills and improves their critical thinking as they find the quickest way to reach their goal.
WHAT IS CODING?
Coding, also known as Programming or Computer Science, is the scientific and practical approach to computation and its applications
Coding is the study of the structure and mechanization of logic. An alternate definition of programming is the study of automating algorithmic processes that scale. A computer scientist specializes in the theory of computation and the design of computational systems. Some coding fields, such as computational complexity theory, are highly abstract. While other fields, such as computer graphics emphasize real-world visual applications. Still, other fields focus on challenges in implementing computation. With human and computer interaction, computer scientists must consider the challenges in making computers and computations useful, usable, and universally accessible to people
CODING LANGUAGES
This is a list of the different coding languages we teach and the path for learning coding
Flowgorithm
Flowgorithm is an introduction into computer science with logic at the center. Flowgorithm is a graphical authoring tool which allows users to write and execute programs using flowcharts. The approach is designed to emphasize the logic, with important lessons about syntax, which is the grammar and spelling of a computer science language. The flowchart can be converted to several major programming languages. It is not just a tool to teach the introductions of computer science, but it is a teaching tool to prepare students for the next level of languages and to teach them Logic Design, which is the core of programming.
Scratch
Scratch is a visual, drag-and-drop programming language. It is a browser based programming language, and is object oriented which helps introduce real-world languages like Java. Scratch has an extended list of features such as object creation, multi-threaded operations, and more. These added capabilities make it suitable for a serious introduction to computer science for elementary and middle school students. Scratch allows students to create interactive animations, games, stories, and more, while learning about mathematical and computational ideas.
Lua
Lua is a powerful, fast, lightweight, embeddable scripting language. Lua combines simple procedural syntax with powerful data description constructs based on associative arrays and extensible semantics. Lua has been used in many industrial applications, like Adobe’s Photoshop Lightroom, with an emphasis on embedded systems and games, like World of Warcraft, Angry Birds, and Roblox. Lua is currently the leading scripting language in games.
Python
Python is an object-oriented, high-level programming language with integrated dynamic semantics primarily for web and app development. It is extremely attractive in the field of Rapid Application Development because it offers dynamic typing and dynamic binding options. It is great for server security, machine learning, and is a primary language for microcontrollers. NASA actually uses Python when they are programming their equipment and space machinery.
Java
Java is a general-purpose computer programming language that is concurrent, class-based, object-oriented, and specifically designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. It is intended to let application developers “write once, run anywhere”. Java is used by many software designers and many devices all around the world. One design goal of Java is portability, which means that programs written for the Java platform run similarly on any combination of hardware and operating system with adequate runtime support.
C++
C++ is a general purpose object oriented programming language developed as an extension to the C language. It is considered to be an intermediate level language, as it encapsulates both high and low level language features. C++ is one of the most popular languages primarily utilized with system/application software, drivers, client-server applications and embedded firmware. The main highlight of C++ is a collection of pre-defined classes, which are data types that can be expressed multiple times. C++ includes several operators such as comparison, arithmetic, bit manipulation, logical operators etc. One of the most attractive features of C++ is that it enables the overloading of certain operators such as addition.
C
C is one of the most important languages there is. The reasoning being that other languages are often developed from the C language. It is considered to be a difficult language because of it being what is known as a “low level language”. C is one of the most popular languages primarily utilized with system/application software, drivers, client-server applications and embedded firmware. If you know C, you are able to code anything.
