I don't want to sound negative but it's a bit too late/ reactive. By the time they grow up, it's will be very difficult to be outstanding with coding. I don't understand why the education system/ parents are so reactive, they see people succeed in doing certain things then they follow. It's already too late. We should be proactive instead. We should allow kids to explore and do different things so they can slowly develop an interest in them and potentially do well in them.
Making kids go coding courses at a young age is no different from forcing kids to go tuition/ focusing on maths and science. This is why will lose out to India, a few decades ago they already focus on tech and it's affordable for them to learn it.
I suggest the school jump into python coding to get into data analysis, machine learning, natural language processingNLP, big data, logistic regression, linear regression and so on...
Start with basic python codings, simple to learn is like learning to write simple English sentences....
Then group them into each group learn one of the above and then round the Robbins table... end up they teach each others what they learn last time....
It's s fun... end up daddy and mama also got excited and learn along with them... can see many utube videos to learn more...
These modules can go work in Google in the NLP natural language processing.
Each module has their own set of standard codes and script, no big deal, may end up parents can change jobs work for Google's.... hahaha or work in Fintech....
These are hot potatoes courses current and in demand. Then proceed to Financial analysis and algorithmic trading in Python in stock market...
Lucky parents get rich or change jobs work in stock market companies.... huat ah....
Learning IT in coding without objective, target market and follow trend will make students lose interest.
When I decide to learn python, get bored and find where Python is used morev in IT ... the Fintech used all python codes....
.... and boom here I am play stock market using python codes...
Learn the python basic become understand it more, flip back and forward learn both together at the same time...
Hope this help....
