In the age of AI, you might wonder if your child should learn coding or go into computer science. If that's the case, read our thoughts on this subject matter.

At WhizKidz, we believe knowing how to code and understanding AI technology is one of the most important skill sets you can have to be successful, knowing that no one can predict what might happen in the future.

In math, everyone learns basic arithmetic even though we have calculators. You don't just examine math problems; you actually do them. You learn in detail how to do single and n-digit addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Just because we have calculators doesn't mean you shouldn't learn math, especially if your job requires it.

In coding, we believed in the same principles even before AI came along. They are Learn by Example and Learn by Doing. A great way to learn is to read about a topic, see examples, and then do similar problems yourself. You will only understand the details with hands-on experience, seeing what can go wrong, and how to fix issues. And unlike a calculator which doesn't make mistakes and has only one right answer, AI is far from writing perfect code and still doing mostly what you are asking it to do.

The other principle that we believe in is that Coding is fun and challenging. Like a puzzle, it is rewarding to solve a problem and come up with a solution. It is exciting to show others what you've created. It improves your cognitive skills, such as logical and analytical thinking, problem solving, memory retention, and creativity.

Therefore, our approach is simple. We teach you core coding skills and focus on understanding and applying AI, so that you are prepared for whatever happens in the future!
