Why should kids learn to code?

Uncategorized May 3, 2016 826Views 0Likes

Knowing how to code, or more generally speaking, how to think computationally to solve a problem, is going to be a must for our society independently of the professional field.

As such, learning to code from an early age is the first step towards being tomorrow’s programming rock star. We, as today’s rock stars, know this because we used to play with code when we were kids. Do you remember Logo? (yes, the turtle drawing squares and crazy spirals!). It is a game for learning to code where you give instructions to a turtle. The Pirate Robot, just like the Logo’s turtle, is based on a programming language which has been developed specifically for kids.

We invite everybody to join the adventures of the pirate robot and help him find incredible treasures. New levels and improvements will come soon. The game has been tested in Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safari. Please do not hesitate to give us your feedback.

Happy coding!
