Well to start with, coding does not restrict people from learning it. No matter what the age is, be it a kid, an adult, or even an old aged for that matter. All that counts is the willingness of the person to learn to program. We, here at Coding Elements aim to teach everyone all across the nation who are willing to learn the language. We have a number of courses for kids suitable for their respective age groups based on their goal, intellect, adaptability, and ability.

We have broadly categorized them into two:

1)     BASED ON THE AGE GROUP:

• FOR AGE 4-9

Since kids of this age group have just started to understand things and their brains are under development as well, we make sure to set them on the right track. These days it's difficult to let kids learn through the traditional ways because in this era where technology has claimed the throne, why not use newer innovative measures?

We have a drag-and-drop language such as Blockly because we strongly prefer Blockly over Scratch.

• FOR AGE 10-13

As around this age, the kid becomes more mature in terms of mental development; hence he/she shall be able to decide his/her interest. Once that part is sorted, the student can determine the level with which he/she has to proceed. For instance-

1. EASY: Start with Blockly and then level up to Thunkable (mobile apps)
2. MEDIUM-HARD: start with Python first and then once comfortable, the student can switch to Machine Learning or Artificial Intelligence (AI).
3. HARD: start with JavaScript and then move up to React.

• FOR AGE 13+

Now that the kid has entered the teen period, their brains are much sharper and flexible. So they can start with a real programming language such as Python or JavaScript. These two languages are trendy and in great demand as of now. Well-renowned companies such as Facebook, Google, Quora, LinkedIn, Uber, Amazon, etc. all have Python and JavaScript in their use.

PYTHON Programming is the predominant language for Machine Learning, AI as well as Data Science.

It is also one of the easiest languages, to begin with. And of course, our Founder, Mr. Mudit Goel's cult-favorite as well.

Python for Data Science Online Course - Learn the fundamentals of programming, data structures, web development, and data science using Python.

JAVASCRIPT is the chief language of the Web. It is used to build websites as well as mobile applications using React Native.

Learning JavaScript will undoubtedly prove to be fruitful for you in the future.  

2)     BASED ON THE GOAL:

• GOAL 1- BEST FOR BUILDING REAL WORLD PROJECTS

There are two levels for this goal and accordingly are the languages best suitable for the respective level.

EASY- Blocky, Thunkable and Airtable

HARD- JavaScript, React and Firebase

• GOAL 2- BEST FOR SUPPORTING COLLEGE ADMISSIONS

Real programming languages like Python and JavaScript are the two best suitable languages for this goal. These two languages are more than enough to build up your college profile as well as will be advantageous for the internships you might want to take up, provided you are practicing it rigorously.

• GOAL 3- BEST FOR FUTURE EMPLOYABILITY

Since the competition in this sector is fierce as well as the need for skills is a must, other than real programming languages like Python and JavaScript, you would have to indulge in learning the Computer Science fundamentals such as Data Structures, Algorithms, Databases, Software Design, Software Architecture, Operating Systems, etc.

• GOAL 4- BEST FOR OVERALL BRAIN DEVELOPMENT

Coding Elements founder, Mr. Mudit Goel, has worked with more than 2000 students from all across the globe with a team of 40 faculty members, in delivering live coding lessons to kids and make sure that the kids have the best experience while learning which is yet exciting at the same time.

The experienced faculty of Coding Elements is trained in SEL (Social and Emotional Learning) so that they can connect with kids on a better level and build a strong rapport with them.

A student is always open to think about the real-life adversities and be capable enough to resolve all the problems they face. This problem-solving skill comes to their aid because all our projects are more of a real-world project where we can sharpen the students' skills.

We strongly oppose teaching a particular technology because we believe in teaching transferable skills that one can make use of in any situation at any point in time throughout their life. And to do so, we often use 2-3 languages within a single project.
