Coding is the behind scene language within each app, phone and website you use today. Coding is becoming integral part of many professions, as the world is going through digital transformation and will require solid digital skills. It’s been proven that learning to code reinforces math skills, helping kids visualize abstract concepts and apply math to real-world situations. It also teaches logical communication, strengthening both verbal and written skills.
