Coding is an ever increasingly valuable skill. Not only does skill in coding provide stable career prospects and a clear pathway to success, but coding can more-or-less be done anywhere in the world, thereby opening up an even greater degree of possibilities and opportunities for your children. The basics of coding that students learn will also help promote more general analytical thinking abilities and can particularly help propel them in their STEM education.
