Why does code matter?

Terminal Two Games
2 min readApr 20, 2021

It’s in your (and your kids') life.

Computers are everywhere. From grocery stores to national banks, code is becoming an ever more important element of our daily lives. Learning and practicing code will give your child a future-proof tool to use at work and in life to understand the complexity of the technology that fuels our world.

Not only because learning how to program will lead to greater career opportunities, but also because of learning to think in a computational manner shows rational and agile problem-solving skills.

Computational thinking allows us to take a complex problem, understand what the problem is and develop possible solutions. We can then present these solutions in a way that a computer, a human, or both, can understand. -BBC

Coding as a language.

In the coming decades, understanding how to read and write code will be a fundamental skill that will be required to meaningfully participate in society. We believe that creating opportunities for children to learn digital language skills at every age, alongside core subjects like math, English, and social studies, is one of the most important steps we can take to prepare them for a future where they shape their technology, rather than being shaped by it.

Equipping your kids for the future.

Coding skills open up professional opportunities in a wide range of growing industries; including security, cloud computing, data science and analytics, full-stack development, robotic automation, healthcare, fintech, marketing, automotive, and insurance.

Start the Journey Today.
