Most people think of computer programming as something complicated and difficult. Usually only young adults or adults learn computer programming. Over the past few years, computer programming has become easier and more wide-spread. A new app called Scratch was recently released, that teaches the basics of computer programming in a fun, interactive environment. Yet, the target market for the app was still too old for the creators of the app, so they created another version called ScratchJr, which is so simple, even a Kindergarten student can use it and learn how to program. These apps teach the fundamentals of problem solving to young children.

I'm gonna download ScratchJr for my daughter. I'm sure she'll love it.
ReplyDeleteThat's an interesting concept. I disagree with the idea that people are "naturally bad at math, computer programming, etc." But I do believe that exposure to the subjects at a younger age can increase a person's ability to learn the subject. Great find!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! I believe early training gives a person so much. We can just look at the countries with stronger technical and math curriculum and see that they produce a lot more professionals in the field.
ReplyDeleteThis is great. I think computer programming helped me with thinking more logically and I wish I had this ability when I was young!! Everybody seriously need to learn how to program!!!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a great idea. As computers become more ubiquitous the ability to program will become more valuable. Starting early will give kids that much more edge.
ReplyDeleteNice words....Great Idea..
