Coding and robotics are essential skills in the 21st century and are new literacies children need to acquire for their future.  Being able to read, write and communicate in computer languages help our students better manipulate data in the digital world; automate tasks; program robots. Enabling our students acquire coding skills not only helps to develop procedural-logical, algorithmic, metacognitive thinking and problem-solving skills, it also promotes creativity and ability to work collaboratively with others.
