Computing (coding) is important for children as it will help improve their mathematics and writing skills, it will give them valuable life skills, which will be used eventually in the workplace.
Develop your child’s skill by start learning the basics of coding; you do not even need a computer! Coding helps build skills in problem solving, thinking creatively, and it helps them to develop resilience. Below are some links to interesting online and downloadable resources you can access from home.
