There’s no question that the time kids spend at school is important to their development: not just the essential knowledge and skills they learn, but also the social experiences they gain from working alongside their peers. Social skills, teamwork, and education are linked, which is part of the reason why school closures and academic schedule disruptions are such an issue for a developing brain.
As kids are kept home from school due to the current crisis, their opportunities for social learning will no doubt be greatly reduced—and for good reason. But staying safe and healthy doesn’t have to mean social interactions are cut off entirely. Kids can and should continue their education and their coding journey anywhere they have access to a computer and the internet.
That’s why we love online coding lessons. The Coding Space specializes in teaching kids to tackle challenges through learning to code by employing a growth mindset, computational thinking practices, and intellectual confidence—skills that will help them wherever their academic goals take them. Our virtual coding lessons combine personalized, one-on-one sessions with a Coding Space teacher with opportunities for kids to code collaboratively with others—a great way for students to get some much needed social learning while stuck inside. Our curriculum is built to engage minds and encourage partnership. Here’s how:

Our curriculum is built to engage minds and encourage partnership. Here’s how:
- Kids working in Scratch can collaborate through Scratch Studio, the online Scratch community, by sharing ideas, remixing each other's projects, and learning together. This community is built for kids and well moderated.
- Kids working in WoofJS can work collaboratively on a project using the Team Project feature—all coding together to build a bigger project than one student could make on their own.
- Our group classes are the best of both worlds. Not only do students get the benefit of working closely with a talented instructor, but they can then solve problems together through online screen sharing and video conference platforms like Zoom.
