Kodable let your child programmers thinking to solve problems
This iPad application called Kodable, from the interface to the content is very simple , its purpose is very clear: Let the little children to early exposure to the programming language. Kodable for 5-7 year-olds , but Huebner pointed out , tested , in fact, three -year-old children can play with relish.
She said: " had given a three -year-olds to play this application , he totally into it , from time to time but also because of excitement and called twice. Fact, many children have been programmed thinking , just need their parents to guide ."
She added: " I ??have seen an app called " Your Baby Can Read 6 DVD ", so I thought why not develop an application called " Your Baby Can Code " do ? Then we began to study and discussion , in the end how much time children can begin to learn programming , develop children 's cognitive abilities and when it was prime time . "
Kodable almost nothing written guidance, as long as the children under 5 years old, and can drag on the iPad , they can begin to play. Huebner believe that even if the child is less than 5 years old , can also help parents play in this application . In the game , the children need to drag a series of arrows , guide Kodable in that lovely furballs destination. It is worth mentioning that the first 30 levels are free , then every 30 to pay $ 1.99 off .
Each level is so that children can think programmers solve problems. The process appears to play , children can unconsciously learn to function , conditional statements , if / then statements and looping constructs to solve problems.
Last June , Huebner and Mattingly together launched this application . Initially, they launched a 10 points, on 3-9 year-old child to be tested , and with the study early childhood workers to discuss . They also intend to work with educators together to launch programming course , so kids can combine Kodable to learn. So that children receive more systematic programming education .
Teach children more and more application programming Moreover Kodable these five -year-old child, at least another 15 years to enter the society . Who also can not guarantee that they will be later on worked as a programmer .
In this regard , Huebner explains: " More and more work on programming , and regardless of whether the children were chosen to become a programmer, learning programming allows them to better understand the science and technology of science and technology is a very important part of life , will not go away .
