At Kidds' Coding Club
Kidds' Coding Club is an after-school program that aims to equip your child with knowledge & skills that will assist them to cope & engage positively in this fast-paced technologically advancing world.
We not only focus on teaching them new skills but we also groom them to be ready for the new digital era we are moving into as it has been proven that having children learn coding at a young age prepares them for the future.
Our courses are structured to teach basics of programming, lessons on coding real apps, websites and games. What better way to teach children than using what they love, we believe that we can capture & hold their attention using gaming, music & animation to make learning fun & productive.
Coding helps children with communication, creativity, math,writing, and confidence
Six different studies show: children who study computer science perform better in other subjects, excel at problem-solving.
Despite all the evidence that computer science helps students outperform in
school, increases their likelihood of
attending university, & leads to better
careers, the sad truth is that the
majority of children will never have the opportunity to learn this subject in their school.
Computer science can boost a child’s entire life from school to career, but the opportunity to study it is pre-determined by income, race, & geography.
At KCC we believe every child has the right to knowledge & information regardless of their background & circumstances.

Dear kids & parents,
I’ve created this website so we can all keep up with our routines and learning program, even during these challenging times.
OUR PROGRAMS
Our courses are tailor- adjusted according to the various age groups making it easier for them to grasp the content easier at their own comprehension level.

Digital Literacy
Digital literacy is one of the three main strands within computing, along with computer science and information technology.
-
In UNESCO’s Information for All program, digital literacy is recognized as an essential life skill.
-
Being digitally literate simply means the person is capable of using a wide range of digital technologies for the purpose of learning, creating, and sharing information.
A
Animation
Animation gives children a chance to make something personal that represents
their own ideas and
embodies their own effort.
We believe at KCC its
important to teach them
from an early age to be the creators of their own stories using their creative imagination.
Animation projects give the child experience interacting with technical tools, like cameras and editing software. It also gives them experience with audio/visual presentation in general. these skills are becoming more and more important in today’s world
and could help push your kids up the technical ladder.
R
Robotics
Robotics for kids is a hands-on and fun way for kids to learn STEM concepts by letting them make their own robots.
Robotics is a branch of technology that deals with the making, programming, and designing of robots.
They also enhance interest in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) among children. The adage “learning by doing” is applicable to the use of robotics in teaching. Good robotics programs for kids will allow them to learn a number of skills they can use in the real world.
CS
Computer science
We believe that computing is so fundamental to understanding and participating in society that it is valuable for every student to learn as part of a modern education.
We see computer science as a liberal art, a subject that provides students with a critical lens for interpreting the world around them.
Computer science prepares all students to be active and informed contributors to our increasingly technological society whether they pursue careers in technology or not. Computer science can be life-changing, not just skill training..
#AGENDA2040
What is #Agenda2040?
Our goal is to have reached 500 000 children in South Africa by 2040 by teaching and training them on digital education, upskilling them with knowledge and integrating them within context into the digital era . In simple terms it is a goal to have digitally included, informed and literate young people who will make up tomorrow's labor force.
Our goal is not motivated by profit but our main goal is to bridge the digital divide that exists in our continent and use technology to meet the challenges of a rapidly digitizing world. The vast knowledge and exposure our team has afforded the opportunity to see a gap within our own community, that is where the inception of KCC began; to bridge the digital divide and speed up the transition of the underdeveloped and still developing communities into the Forth Industrial revolution.
Students who are digitally literate know how to find and consume digital content, they also posses the abilities to use digital tools to communicate, access, manage, integrate, synthesize and use information in order to achieve learning and other life goals within their unique context.''
“By 2030, ICT will underpin the development of a dynamic and connected information society and a vibrant knowledge economy that is more inclusive and prosperous.” ~The National Development Plan: 20301
Digital Inclusion is social inclusion in the 21st century that ensures individuals and disadvantaged groups have access to, and skills to use, Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and are therefore able to participate in and benefit from today’s growing knowledge and information society
I got my first computer in the 6th grade or so. As soon as I got it, I was interested in finding out how it worked and how the programs worked and then figuring out how to write programs at just deeper and deeper levels within the system.
