*Coding* is the process of using a programming language to create a program that can be executed on a
computer or other device.
Some of us might be wondering again that what's the meaning of programming

Let me explain 😇

Some common examples of programming languages include Python, Java, C++, and JavaScript.

A *program* is a set of instructions that tell a computer what to do, and a programming language is a
set of rules for writing those instructions in a way that a computer can understand.

Have you ever wondered how those mobile Applications on your smartphone are created 🤔.... They
might even be easier than you think 👌

Coding is an important skill for people who want to work in technology or build their own software
applications, and it is also a useful skill for people in other fields who want to automate tasks or work
more efficiently.

*Daily Application of Coding Skills*

There are many ways you can apply coding skills on a daily basis, depending on your interests and goals.
Here are a few ideas:

1. Solve problems: If you're a software developer, you might use coding skills to solve problems
that come up in your work or personal projects. This could involve debugging code, implementing new
features, or optimizing existing functionality.

2. Automate tasks: Coding skills can be used to automate repetitive tasks, saving time and effort.
For example, you could write a script to perform a set of actions on your computer, or create a tool to
extract data from a website.

3. Create websites or apps: If you're interested in web development, you can use coding skills to
create websites or apps. This might involve designing the layout and user experience, implementing
functionality using programming languages such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and testing and
debugging the final product.

4. Data analysis: Coding skills can be used to analyze data sets, extract insights, and visualize
results. This might involve using tools like Python, R, or SQL to manipulate and analyze data, and
creating graphs or charts to communicate findings.

5. Explore new technologies: Coding skills can also be used to experiment with new technologies
and ideas. This might involve building prototypes or proof-of-concepts, or contributing to open-source
projects.

*So let us quickly look at the benefits of coding*

1. Developing problem-solving skills: Coding involves breaking down problems into smaller parts
and finding solutions to each part. This helps students develop problem-solving skills that can be applied
to other areas of their lives.

2. Enhancing creativity: Coding allows students to create and build their own projects, which can
be a great outlet for creativity.

3. Building a strong foundation for the future: Coding is an increasingly important skill in today's
digital world, and learning how to code can give students a strong foundation for their future careers.

4. Improving communication skills: Coding requires students to communicate their ideas

effectively, both through writing code and through discussing their work with others.

5. Promoting teamwork: Many coding projects involve collaboration, which can help students learn
how to work effectively in a team.

6. Improving career prospects: In today's job market, having coding skills can make a student more
competitive in the job market and open up a wider range of career opportunities.

*Now let's look at how the School can benefit from Coding*

Here are a few benefits of coding for a school:

Coding can help students develop important 21st century skills. Coding requires critical thinking,
problem-solving, and collaboration, all of which are important skills for success in today's world.
Coding can help schools prepare students for the future. With the increasing importance of technology
in many fields, coding can give students a leg up in their future careers by helping them develop
valuable technical skills.

Coding can help schools improve student engagement and achievement. Coding can be an engaging and
fun activity for students, which can lead to higher levels of motivation and achievement.

Coding can help schools foster creativity and innovation. Coding allows students to create and build
their own projects, which can help them develop creative and innovative thinking skills.

Coding can help schools build a stronger sense of community.

There are a few ways that a school could potentially generate additional income by offering coding
classes:

Charge a fee for the coding classes: The school could charge students or their parents a fee to
participate in the coding classes. This is a common way for schools to generate income from
extracurricular activities.

Offer coding classes as a paid service to the community: The school could offer coding classes to
members of the community as a paid service, similar to how a private business might offer coding
classes. This could be a good way to generate additional income for the school.

Partner with businesses or organizations: The school could partner with businesses or organizations that
are interested in sponsoring or supporting the coding classes. This could provide the school with
additional financial resources, as well as help to build relationships with the local community.

Coding will also give your School an extra edge over your fellow competitors 👌

*Coding club or Coding class,* you need to know which one is right for your School.
Let's look at it this way, Coding club will involve almost all the pupils/students in your school or simply
put students from any department who is interested While Coding class might be restricted to only the
ones in the science department.

You need to know and decide which one is best and will work for your School

*What do we mean by In-class or After-class?*

The school might decide to have Coding Class as part of the School Curriculum or might decide to have it
after school i.e as extracurricular activity which will surely increase the school's Students *In-class or
After-school Class, which one is better?*

*Firstly* the student requirements

The student must be ready and willing to learn 👌

*So what are the requirements to start a Coding Class or Club in your School???*

*Thirdly* the School requirements

Schools may need to ensure that they have sufficient and required resources, such as
computers/laptops or desktop and to make it buoyant, the school will need a projector.
The school must have experienced teachers, to offer such classes.

Schools may also need to ensure that they have the necessary curriculum and materials in place to teach
coding effectively.

*Secondly* the teachers requirements

*The teachers must know what they want to teach.

*They must have a scheme to work on/with.

*The teachers must be creative and must think critically (outside the box).

*The teacher must be proactive.

*Does coding have an age limit?*🤔

I don't think so😊....A child can start learning coding from age 6

I know some of us might be thinking 🤔 about how to start or how to go about it.

*Coding might not be as hard as you think 👌 👌 👌 *
