Why should your child learn to code? Well... coding is the new literacy and it’s rapidly growing! HTML and CSS is used by every website in the world, and it's a great place to start!
There are so many benefits - becoming fluent with technology, critical thinking skills, problem solving skills, great career paths and more.
Computers are a big part of our future and every child should learn basic coding, not just those seeking a career in software development. Even celebrities, CEOs, and those alike are finally recognizing the benefits of children learning how to code. Here's what just a few of them are saying:
"Computers are going to be a big part of our future...and that future is yours to shape." -Former President, Barack Obama
"Learning to write programs stretches your mind, and helps you think better, creates a way of thinking about things that I think is helpful in all domains." -Co-Founder Microsoft, Bill Gates
"You can be good at technology and like fashion and art. You can be good at technology and be a jock. You can be good at technology and be a mom. You can do it your way, on your terms." -Former CEO Yahoo!, Marissa Mayer
Become fluent in technology
- Interacting with technology is part of every day life. Coding helps children create technology, express themselves in new ways.

Programmers are in high demand
- Employment is expected to grow 17% by 2024 (via BLS)

Learn to think and problem solve

About me, the instructor - Kevin Hauger
I’m a product designer, kids coding mentor, and web developer that loves to code.
Learning how to code is one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life! I first gained interest in learning how to code while studying product design at The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
I started out teaching small community workshops in the Champaign-Urbana (IL) area. Since then, I’ve created this online course in order to reach more kids and beginners in order to have a bigger impact.
I enjoy helping children/beginners learn the skills to a more fulfilling life!
