The Hamilton Code Clubs are currently being delivered, in schools across Hamilton, to students in grades 4-8. The clubs are run by volunteer mentors whose goal is to teach coding in a fun hands-on environment. There are many benefits your students can gain from learning software programming. Here are just a few of many:
- Encourages students to step out of their comfort zones.
- Teaches the lesson of learning from mistakes, and that making them is all part of the process.
- Enhances problem solving skills.
- Enhances creativity.
- Teaches the importance of math and literacy outside of the classroom.
- Prepares students for possible career paths.
