Programming language is a human-computer dialogue language, and people use to communicate with Chinese, English and other languages, has a similar ** get process, the earlier the exposure, the better to master. At the same time, learning ** programming is more like a key to open the door to a whole new world for children, to develop children's ability in many aspects.
Logical thinking
The uniqueness of programming lies in the fact that making things with computers is a creative process, just like building blocks, putting something together requires a blueprint and a process. A large program will usually have many small and medium-sized modules responsible for their respective tasks. It's like a project, how to divide up the labor, which person or team is responsible for doing what, what to do first and what to do later, it all involves macro design skills and logical thinking. The same goes for designing a computer program to accomplish a task.
Design Thinking
Programming can exercise a child's design thinking, such as playing "Plants vs. Zombies" such as tower defense games, it is fun because different plants and different zombies are mutually exclusive, and the appearance of zombies, plants, and props in each level are designed. If the child has the ability to program, it will naturally think: why did the game designer design these plants, why design these zombies, these plants, zombies appear what is the law? If I could design and write such a game, what kind of zombies, plants, gameplay, and levels would I add, and implement them to make the game more fun?
Problem solving ability
Computer is an open world, just like the drip taxi, Tak Tak map apps, mastered the programming mind, as long as he is guided to observe and find problems, the child can create programs to solve practical problems. And no longer in the verbal, in the mind of their own program or think "if someone in accordance with my ideas to realize out how good ah.
Teamwork skills
When a program reaches a certain level of complexity, multiple people need to work together to complete the program. The child will learn ** to how to divide the work according to the strengths of each person in the team, help each other, and work together to realize the program to solve the problem.
Continuous learning** ability
On the one hand, the child learns programming, may, in turn, promote the learning of other subjects**, for example, he wants to design a racing game, need to understand the laws of motion in physics, in order to express the movement of the car in the game very realistic.
On the other hand, in the computer industry, there is currently a "technology flashpoint" about every five years, and the interval between flashpoints continues to shorten. The next burst may be in VR (virtual reality), AR (artificial intelligence), robotics, big data. These technological bursts require continuous learning** for people to be able to keep up. When a child falls in love with programming, he will definitely continue to learn** new technologies to solve new problems or once intractable problems.
3. There's nothing like programming to unleash creativity
There's nothing like programming to unleash creativity and share the joy of creativity with a lot of people. Everyone has an idea, the important thing is to make it happen. It's a child's nature to play games, and by learning to program, a child can not only play games, but also design and develop a game themselves and share it with the world to play.
