Code Club Africa
The mission of Code Club Africa is to give every child in Africa the chance to learn Computer Programming
What it's all about
When a young child realizes that they have the power to create [semi-autonomous] computer programs, it opens up a whole world of creative expression that would otherwise be closed to them.
Computer tools are always changing, but understanding the basics of coding and demystifying the process means they'll never be limited by the constraints of other people's software.
Learning how to write code teaches kids to blend logical and creative thought to solve problems, and that's a skill that will benefit them in any career.
One can go further and say that coding is one of the best forms of brain exercise! Brain exercise is important when kids are young. It's simple: Just like physical exercise makes them stronger, brain exercise makes them smarter. This builds confidence as well.
Our computer programming projects are easy to follow step-by-step guides which help children learn Scratch, HTML & CSS and Javascript by making games, animations, and websites. The projects gradually introduce coding concepts to allow children to build their knowledge incrementally. So the scope of what will be available for the children to learn is:
Basic Computer Appreciation & Introduction
Scratch (an MIT tool for creating interactive games and animations)
HTML & CSS
Javascript (programming language of the web)
PHP (a more intense back-end programming language)
Adobe Photoshop: Basic Introduction.
