Children acquire skills through the following exercises.
1. Basic Concepts: As “code detectives,” children learn how computers
command everyday items like smartphones and cars.
2. Sorting: Grouping objects by color, shape, or type is similar to how
computers organize data.
3. Sequencing: Arranging steps in order and organizing by rules are
the first steps to understanding programming.
4. Loops: Identifying patterns in images, music, and dance helps
children learn to use repeating commands.
5. Algorithms: Clear, step-by-step commands are the building blocks
of code. Children also learn to find and correct errors and define
goals.
6. Conditional Logic: Determining what action comes next in if-then
statements is a critical stepping stone to coding.
