It requires high activity of multiple areas in the brain and altogether empowers children. When children code they learn how to express themselves, develop procedural thinking, and strengthen their confidence, they acquire a new set of skills that help them shift from just consuming information to becoming digital creators.

In the App development course, students will learn the basics of coding Apps and games for smartphones. They will write code for the first time, develop and design their own unique self-made products. During the course students will learn and implement the following concepts:
