Skills Code REV Kids learn...

• Creativity

  Creativity

  We at CodeREV Kids believe that a child’s creativity should be explored in order to grow to its full potential. Our program fosters creativity in students as they learn the power they possess to create in their own digital worlds. We offer many different creative outlets for students to explore their creative minds.
• Math

  Math

  We teach students to apply mathematics to programming. This allows them to experience first-hand the practical application of the math they learn at school. Additionally, we offer “Mathcraft,” a cutting edge, data and research supported program developed by our very own Jim Pike that teaches core curriculum math concepts for 3rd – 8th graders in a fun, interactive environment, using Minecraft.
• Detail

  Detail

  Orientation. So many important fields in life require detail orientation. Learning programming teaches students to be very detail-oriented because if students type just one letter, character, or space incorrectly in their code, their programs won’t work!
• STEM

  STEM

  Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math are what the country and school systems are attempting to teach our next generations. We provide hands on exploration in these vital educational areas, allowing even non-math or science students to thrive in STEM. After all, what good is STEM if students don’t get to experience it in a hands-on way?
• Problem Solving

  Problem Solving

  We teach students to use their imaginations to think outside the box to problem solve. Because our program is designed with a learn-by-doing approach, students get to dive into their digital projects head first and learn as they explore the technology required to build each project. This exploration allows students to learn to think critically and ask the right questions as they encounter and conquer obstacles throughout their projects. Our mentors are there to lead students when they misstep, so that they never get stuck for too long and they never give up.
• Team Work

  Team Work

  We lead students through group projects, which instills in students a richer understanding of the power of teamwork. By tackling projects together with their peers, Code REV Kids are empowered to work together toward building a project and get to see how each person’s role is critical to the success of the end goal. This instills in students the same skills that will continue to be vital throughout their lives in the outside world.
• Logic

  Logic

  The programming we teach uses logic that builds off of itself. We teach students to understand how this logic works at an early age, which truly helps students build this vital intellectual skill. Furthermore, by teaching students to learn programming across many different languages and types, we instill in them an understanding of logic that is not context specific.
• Common Core

  Common Core

  The magic word in so many schools today is present in almost all of our lessons. We teach to the common core in computer science, literacy, problem solving, and mathematics. We also teach to the common core by providing programs that are all project based so that students are learning through exploration.
