Some programming environments emphasise the concrete and are good for young people (Scratch, Logo and other visual systems), but adults learn very differently. They will understand why something doesn't work the way it should, and learn what goes on beneath the surface of everyday technological activities. Introducing children to programming in the early years of primary school is the best age range because it plants a seed for later in life. I further agree to indemnify and hold harmless and defend Northwestern University, its officers, agents and employees from injuries, damages and losses suffered by me and arising out of, in connection with, or in any way associated with my participation in the iD Tech Summer Camp.
We have found that children begin to understand logic, three- to five-step commands and the difference between reality and fantasy by the age of four. The iD Tech Summer Camp will indemnify and hold St. Louis, including its board of directors, officers, employees, students, agents and volunteers (hereinafter collectively referred to as Releasees) from any and all liability, claims or injury, including death, that you may suffer while participating in this activity, including but not limited to travel to, from and for the activity, or while on the premises owned or controlled by the Releasees. Most experts agree that visual block coding is one of the best ways to introduce children to programming.
When they start a programme and see that the result is not what they expected, they have to keep investigating, exploring and figuring out why that happened. They grow up with the passion and, at some point, they learn the proper "syntax of being an engineer". He has published articles in scientific journals on children's cognitive development and strategies for effective language learning. Each room will be inspected before arrival and before departure, and any damage to the room or University property will be assessed and charged to the programme, which can then be assessed to the participant.
I am not a teacher, but I have found that most 13 year olds can learn to program with production languages (Python is a good one). Completely useless knowledge nowadays, but that's not the worst thing, the worst thing is that at a time when I should have learned to interact with other humans I spent a lot of time in front of a computer. I also started programming at the age of 20 and I had many friends at university who were coding from the age of 12 or 13.Changes to a class start date, subject or time can be made through My Account or by calling Customer Service at least 72 hours before the class start date.
