Kids Code the Darndest Things

When you give children some space for creativity, it’s amazing what they can do. Consider a recent article for the Huffington Post titled “These Kids Spent 8 Hours Coding And Broke A Guinness World Record.”

Rebecca Klein of the Huffington Post writes, “July 30 was a big day for over 1,000 members of Boys and Girls Clubs in the Seattle area: They learned how to code, and they broke a Guinness world record. A total of 1,337 students gathered at the Microsoft headquarters in Redmond, Washington, for a free coding camp that was also an attempt to break the record for the ‘most people trained in computer programming in eight hours.’ Microsoft approached Guinness when it had the idea to host the marathon training session. Guinness World Records set a benchmark of 1,300 students who had to take part, Microsoft representative Katie Fazzolari told The Huffington Post. The kids participated in coding activities, like learning how to do commands, and had to create a game. They had to demonstrate that they had finished their tasks for their time to count for the world record.”

Cool Mom Tech also highlights youth coding creativity in a recent article titled “9 awesomely cool coding projects for kids using the Dot and Dash robots from Wonder Workshop.” Liz of Cool Mom Tech writes, “Recently, I wrote about how totally in love I am with the Dot and Dash Robots from Wonder Workshop. So it makes me extra happy that they have joined us as as our newest Cool Mom Tech sponsor because, well, we all adore them! (Also, so does every kid who comes over and begs to play with ‘those cool blue robot things’ that have a permanent home in our living room.) What’s even better is that the free Blockly app (iOS and Android) that pairs with the robots has a new update every single week, meaning it’s constantly packed with tons of new puzzles and playful projects that are actually doable without an engineering degree, thanks to an easy drag-and-drop visual coding platform that’s perfect for kids about 8 and up. Maybe a little younger with your help.”
