Computer programming may well be tomorrow’s “new literacy.” Coding offers children a creative avenue to express themselves through technology and opens the door to unlimited opportunities in the digital era.
First Time Coders, written by an MIT Master Trainer for coding education and award-winning founder of a STEM and coding education institute, is the essential handbook for parents whose kids are starting their coding journey, or are already coding and eager to learn more.
Michelle Sun brings us a much-needed guide to help parents navigate the bewildering choices. Unlike other books about computing for young people, this book is aimed especially at parents who are wondering how to introduce their kids to the universe of computing. It’s not an instruction book to accompany a single toy or programming platform. Rather, Sun surveys the most popular offerings, compares their strengths and weaknesses, and gives parents perspective on how to choose among them. She also answers general questions parents might have, such as: How does programming work? and Why are there so many different programming languages?
The book is divided into sections that describe appropriate tools for different age groups, ranging from ages 4-5 through 12 and up. Best of all, there are sample activities and project descriptions for each tool that will give parents an idea of how their kids might take advantage of these products.
You will find:
● Advice and solutions to common challenges about youth tech usage.
● Essential principles when learning to code.
● Introduction of 15+ age-appropriate coding languages and tools for children aged 4 to 18.
● 20+ step-by-step hands-on coding projects followed by challenges.
● Computer science concepts for each project.
● Tips for adults to discuss these concepts in-depth.
