1 Strengthen your children’s brain development
There is no doubt that developing critical thinking and emotional resilience sets children up for long-term success. For digital natives—the generations starting from millennials who were born with the internet and computers—computational thinking is really a key tenet of cognitive development in twenty-first-century learners.
In addition to its approach and fostering of habits integral to solving complex problems, computational thinking enhances pattern recognition and conceptual thinking. These methods help children think logically and analytically, reinforce problem-solving, and model a way of thinking that kids can incorporate into their growth. When children learn this early on, it is not only a certain set of knowledge, but a mentality that they end up taking on.
Once children visualise their learning through computational thinking, the learning itself becomes a tangible process, and children become motivated to take risks, keep trying, and not be afraid to fail. Needless to say, these are all mindsets and skills that will prove extremely useful to their futures, whatever their eventual career paths.
