Coding for kids

30


30 per package - Virtual OK - Posted Oct 12, 2018

Looking at introducing your child to the world of computing? Scratch is a great program to get kids started with coding basics without any prior computing knowledge. I love how it helps children be creative in their animations and game designs along with enhancing their logical reasoning skills.

Learning to use technology the right way is an important skill that can be learnt if kids are introduced to it at an early age. Scratch is a great way to begin as early as age 7. It is a highly rewarding experience for a child to think of ideas and then see them come to life on screen.

I can help kids design simple animations, games, advertisements, greeting cards or even social campaigns etc. The complexity can be revved up based on a child's age, ability and exposure. It would be great to work with a child one-on-one, a big advantage when it comes to coding, because it can mean a lot of ideas can be bounced off during conversation. If your child is already comfortable with basics, I can work with him/her for advanced concepts like variables, mathematical operators etc.

I would like to help your child with 3 projects after an initial assessment of what the child already knows. Each project would be approximately 40 mins.

Ideal age :7-11 yrs

Training & Qualifications


I have partnered with a IT education company to provide STEM based education to elementary level students. I teach kids and train teachers to code with Microbits, Minecraft mods, Robotics, Raspberry Pi and some more.
Scratch is my favorite platform because of the creativity involved and because it appeals to both girls and boys equally, which is not always the case with other computing options.

Availability & Preferences


My schedule is a bit erratic so cannot say specifically, but we can figure out a suitable time that works for both of us.

Trading Preference: I’m flexible, just hit me up!

About Shilpa K

For me life is a constant endevor to discover newer aspects of myself. An eternal quest to learn different things probably defines me more than anything else. I dabble in Art, Poetry, Writing and Musi...c ( I play Sitar). Yoga is my go-to when I need to find sanity in things that throw me off. It is my daily practice of Yoga along with mantras that have seen me through turbulent times. Yoga for me is a philosophy that calls for lifelong learning. I worked as the assistant director of a Software Company for many years. Currently, I teach technology-based programs to children. I find highly rewarding to work with kids and helping them discover ways to use technology creatively. I love outdoors, long walks in forests, hiking in the mountains of Seattle and playing table-tennis with my family. As an Indian, I am in love with spices and love experimenting with food. show more
