Critical thinking is the suspension of judgement while identifying biases and underlying assumptions in order to draw accurate conclusions. Critical thinking is among the most important causes of change in kids for their overall development, and especially to do well in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) areas. For a teacher, there is probably […]

To explain operating systems for kids, an operating system is a set of programs that enable other regular programs (like a browser, spreadsheet, gaming software, etc.) to use the computer resources. Operating system is the software that manages the computer hardware, software resources and provides common services to computer programs that we run. The most

Why do we need Classes, why not just use Arrays and work things out? A lot of kids ask this question: why do we need classes, why not just use arrays and put all data together in one array or in a couple of arrays and access? It is understandable why kids are asking this
Arrays vs. Classes Read More »
Let’s talk about how functions in mathematics is related to coding in this blog. You must have already written some code in some language and you might’ve used for-loops or while-loops and processed some data using these loops. We typically write different code in various languages to solve some problems like, say sorting an array

Coding is fundamentally nothing but creativity and problem-solving. These are traits that should be inculcated at a very young age in every kid. Yes, we do teach other subjects to achieve the same goal. But, no other subject actually has the power to inculcate creativity and problem-solving with immediate output that the kids can see
