Is it beneficial to learn coding at a young age?


Certainly! Research suggests that learning coding at a young age can bring several benefits to children.

Learning coding at a young age helps develop computational thinking skills. A study published in the Journal of Educational Computing Research found that coding activities improved children’s abilities to analyze problems, break them down into smaller parts, and devise systematic solutions.
Coding fosters problem-solving skills, logical reasoning, and critical thinking. Research conducted at MIT Media Lab revealed that children who engaged in coding activities showed improved problem-solving abilities compared to their peers.
Coding encourages creativity and innovation. Children learn to think creatively, experiment with different solutions, and express their ideas through coding. A study published in the Journal of Research in Science Teaching found that coding activities promoted divergent thinking and creative problem-solving skills among young learners.
Coding involves mathematical concepts and logical reasoning, which can enhance children’s math and science skills. Research conducted by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, showed that early exposure to coding positively correlated with improved performance in math assessments.
Coding often requires trial and error, debugging, and perseverance in finding solutions to coding challenges. A study published in the Journal of Educational Psychology highlighted that coding activities can develop persistence and resilience in children as they learn to overcome obstacles and keep trying until they achieve their desired outcomes.
With the increasing demand for digital skills, early coding education prepares children for future job opportunities. Research conducted by Burning Glass Technologies indicated that coding and programming skills are in high demand across various industries, including technology, finance, and healthcare.

Why have we chosen Comic based approach?

It has been proven that Visual learning, including the use of visuals and graphics like comics is an effective educational tool.

Visuals, including comics, stimulate creativity and imagination. They encourage learners to think in a visual and nonlinear way, which can lead to more innovative problem-solving and critical thinking skills.

Incorporating visuals into educational materials can enhance comprehension since visuals aid in clarifying complex concepts, making them easier to understand and remember – The University of Illinois at Urbana.

Participants who learn information through visual illustrations have significantly higher retention rates compared to those who learn through text alone – The Journal of Experimental Psychology.

Visuals, such as comics, capture learners’ attention and make the learning experience more interesting and enjoyable – The Journal of Educational Psychology.

Visuals can benefit diverse learners, including those with different learning styles and abilities. Visuals provide a more inclusive learning environment, allowing students to access and understand information through various modalities.

Why have we chosen Python?

  • Because Python is a great first language for any beginner programmer.
  • It’s easy to read and write, and it’s powerful enough to create real computer programs.
  • The credit for most of the work done in the fields of Data Science, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence goes to the powerful libraries of Python.
  • Python is one of the most popular programming languages in the world!

How PyStrike is different from others?

PyStrike has adopted an innovative way of teaching coding where imagination meets technology!

Story-based Comic Format

PyStrike has developed world’s first ComiCo (Comic Course) to teach Python Coding by bringing together Visuals in the form of Comic, Engaging Story-line and Computer Science Concepts.
