Intermediate years are years of highly visible progress in kids’ learning outcomes. Kids deconstruct cause & effect to understand complex fiction & fairy tale narratives. They deepen their understanding of number systems and develop spatial reasoning.With increasingly one-way pedagogy, kids enter the cycle of accepting learning without challenging core assumptions. As a result, kids independent creative thinking declines 50% from ages 7/8*.

Coding emphasizes creation versus consumption of knowledge, thus making kids’ lifelong creators of outcomes. Kids actively challenge their understanding of logic & spatial reasoning concepts by applying them to create outcomes like advanced art & single-character games using code.

Advanced years are the most critical transformation period in kids’ future creative outcomes. Kids learn complex math competence with integers, probability and algebraic expression.They understand grammar rules and literature constructs. In rule-based learning, existing learning systems emphasize binary outcomes. The focus on right vs wrong answers leads to a cycle of rote memorization and fear of mistakes. As a result, kids creativity declines precipitously from these ages, right until adulthood*, permanently shaping career outcomes.

Coding in Grades 4-6 encourages significant creative risk-taking and experimentation. Kids combine logic and abstraction to experiment, stumble, debug, and create commercial-ready apps and games. The pride in creating powerful tangible outcomes after a cycle of stops and starts fundamentally changes their relationship to learning as an experiment-based joy vs. judgement-based outcome.

Age group 12-15 years are the most critical predictor of a kid’s professional future. Kids of this age embrace complex thought and personal expression. They make deep interdisciplinary connections and form deeper constructs about their own academic and professional propulsion. Standardized learning systems emphasize peer acceptance, severely restricting independent thought and creative trajectories.

Coding in Grades 7-9 enables kids to express themselves through the creative medium of computer graphics and programming. Kids build complex games based on personalized imagination and custom pattern recognition. They develop tremendous creator confidence in planning and executing fully formed technical applications.
