How Young Is TOO Young To Teach Kids To Code?
- RawData 13y agoI started coding when I was like 7 or 8 years old... Was I a freak or is that a generally acceptable age to start teaching the average child?
- calhoun137 13y agoI was 10, original BASIC, APPLE 2C
- RawData 13y agoAh, we had an Apple II at school, but I learned my basic on the ole Commodore 64 at home...
- zachlatta 13y agoI started in the third grade. Most kids have trouble coding until they've developed some form of abstract thinking. The biggest thing is to never force someone to learn to code - that'll take the fun out of it. Teach them when they want to learn, and do it on their terms.
- RawData 13y agoThat's a good point. When I was learning I was desperate for knowledge...back then we didn't have the Internet so my options were really limited. I ended up getting a comb-bound manual on Basic for X-mas and was thrilled with it. LOL
