CodeLinkd is an educational initiative to teach coding, design, robotics, and other STEAM concepts for kids ages 6 and above.Coding can be used for more than just creating applications. Learning to code should be compared to learning a new language or a musical instrument. It helps increase perseverance, improves memory, teaches patience, nurtures creativity, and in general, helps them think! It helps enhance their capacity to reason, solve problems thoughtfully, and make effective decisions from a very early age. Coding helps sharpen the analytical and cognitive skills of kids. Coding is, therefore, an essential life skill.At CodeLinkd, we are extremely passionate about bringing computer science to kids from an early age, tapping into their endless creativity, and helping them create beautiful and responsible code. We strongly believe that we can help discover that hidden potential within kids and teach them how to approach real-world scenarios - all by teaching them how to code.Our goal is to provide an alternate style of education, which works in step with the traditional educational methods, so as to help kids understand the technology and the impact they can create in the world, using it. We want kids to explore careers in different fields where their hearts lie, be it medicine, automotive manufacturing, finance or arts and design - and be well-equipped to do so.
