Discover Why Create & Learn’s Coding Curriculum Is The Top Choice For Young Innovators
See the broader world
Our life goals are often limited by what we know about the world. Many kids start learning to code because they want to create games. We show students how studying computer science can lead to making movies, training top athletes, investing in stocks, building smart homes, creating robots, saving wild animals, and much more.
Enjoy systematic comprehensive learning paths
Starting with MIT Scratch, our curriculum covers wide-ranging topics including computer science fundamentals, core programming languages such as Python, Javascript, and Java, as well as state of art technologies such as Firebase, Keras (Artificial Intelligence), and Android - the same tools top engineers use. Classes build on top of previous subjects to reinforce learning, while also expanding to new areas of learning.

Why Teach Computer Science And Coding To Kids?
Kids should learn computer science and coding because these skills open doors to endless opportunities for creativity, innovation, and problem solving. Coding is not just about writing lines of code; it’s about learning how to think critically, break down complex challenges, and develop solutions that make an impact. From designing games to building apps or exploring artificial intelligence, coding equips kids with the tools they need to succeed in a world driven by technology. At Create & Learn, we believe coding empowers children to turn their ideas into reality while preparing them for the fast-growing and exciting careers of the future.
Build Problem Solving
Problem-solving skills are important for kids to have because they are essential for success in school and in life. Research has shown that problem-solving skills are closely tied to academic achievement, and its no wonder - as its central in every subject from solving algebra problems to investigating scientific theories. Even beyond the classroom, problem-solving is ranked among the most important skills for students to have on their resumes, with 82.9% of employers considering it a highly valued attribute.
As Co-Founder of Apple, Steve Jobs said, “Everyone in this country should learn how to program because it teaches you how to think.” Learning to plan and build projects, as well as debug code, all builds kids' computational thinking and problem solving abilities.
Grow Creativity
Creativity is an essential component of success in school and in life. A study published in the Journal of Creative Behavior found that creativity was significantly related to academic performance in math and reading for elementary school students. Creativity is also important for success in the workforce, as it is highly valued by employers. In a survey of over 1,000 hiring managers, creativity was a sought-after skill that employers look for when hiring.
Many coding projects require kids to think outside the box and find creative solutions to problems. For example, if a child is working on making a game in Minecraft, they might need to come up with ways to make the game more challenging, such as adding new features or gameplay mechanics.
Foster Persistence
When children learn programming, they find out they can learn from their failures, and that failure doesn't have to be frustrating or a progress-stopper, reports UT Austin. As Kiki Prottsman shares on Code.org, learning computer science at a young age takes pressure off of mistakes.
With computer programming, the moment you hit “Run” on your code, the computer does exactly what you told it to. When you get it wrong, you often know that there's a problem immediately. You can fix your issue and try again. If you get it wrong a second time, you can keep trying. The result is accelerated learning and an increase in perceived achievement. This leads to persistence, grit and a resilience in all areas of life.
