Presentation from Goran Velkoski & Ivana Nizamovska on SkopjeTechMeetup 7.
Every child should have the opportunity to learn computer science. It helps nurture problem-solving skills, logic and creativity. By starting early, kids will have the capability to shape the future. This are the main reasons why Goran and Ivana decided to organize “Kids can Code”, an introduction to computer science designed for 7-9 year olds to discover coding and show them that anybody can learn the basics.

Programming: modern langugae of our world
-> In the future... as challenging as being illiterate or innumerate are today
Problem solving approach
->It allows you to tackle complex problems in efficient ways that operate at huge scale. It involves creating models of the real world with a suitable level of abstraction, and focus on the most pertinent aspects. It helps you go from specific solutions to general ones.
Games and apps with visual programing language teach programing logic and concepts before kids can read
Use games to teach problem solving and logic
Going from simply interacting with technology to creating technology and expressing oneself in new ways
Gives kids tools to express themselves in really cool ways
Turning creativity into an interactive reality
Code.org® is a non-profit dedicated to expanding access to computer science, and increasing participation by women and underrepresented minorities.
The Hour of Code is a global movement by Computer Science Education Week and Code.org reaching tens of millions of students in 180+ countries through a one-hourintroduction to computer science and computer programming
