Instead of watching Netflix on their computer, how can we get children to get hooked onto programming ?
The dopamine kick which writing a flawless program provides is often far more enduring than a movie !
Kids love learning new stuff – and programming provide instant feedback, which reinforces learning.
And because computers are unforgiving, children learn not to take shortcuts.
And when they get stuck, they learn how to look up online resources so they can move forward
They also learn to help each other, because a love for programming is a very strong bonding glue !
