Code For Kids is a program that was started from an idea in early spring of 2013. At the time, we had no other programs like it. It was a one of a kind (for the most part). Over the years, Code For Kids has grown and we have had so many wonderful experiences teaching kids across Central Canada.
Over the course of the last 2 years, Code For Kids has touched the lives of over 600 kids through more than 30 events, as well as months of dedicated one-on-one tutoring in Ottawa. We will never forget the joy it gave us to watch young girls and boys figuring out tricky problems, creating new things and having fun. We watched them struggle through their frustration to develop amazing and interesting things. We will never forget the pride that our participants had in their accomplishments. We thank you for helping us to succeed in inspiring kids to code.
Over the past few years, we have had a number of helping hands, and we really appreciated all the help. Moving forward, we have lost many of those valuable resources as they have moved on to other things. For that reason, Code For Kids is saying farewell; happy in the knowledge that we have inspired and helped to raise awareness in the importance of teaching coding to the next generation. We leave you with a list of resources for your use:
We will be leaving our Wiki page for some time so that people may continue to use its content.
I know so many of you are just starting on your journey with code, and may still be confused. I encourage you to take a look at the resources listed and search around Google!
Thank you so much for the last few years and all the best in the future,
Julian Nadeau
Founder, Code For Kids
Code For Kids is a two to three hour event that aims to teach children aged 7-13 the basics of coding, technology and design.
Each event has a different focus so that your child can learn about what he/she is most interested in. Want to learn how your favourite video game works? Maybe you want to learn how to build your own?
We believe in encouraging every child's natural curiosity and creativity by giving them the skills they need to explore this new digital world.
