Technology dominates most of our lives. Do you remember what life was like without a smartphone? Cars are basically now computers with 4 wheels, and in the future we’ll all have self-driving vehicles. Every aspect of life is affected by technology in one way or another. That in turn means the demand for computing skills is exploding. My guest today saw an opportunity to help children find joy and skill in coding. Hansel Lynn founded theCoderSchool to provide children aged 7 to 18 years with a welcoming environment to develop computer programming skills. They’ve been at this for over 6 years, with over 55 locations, 5500+ students, 800+ staff, and lots of happy parents and kids. They’ve also published 2 books on kids coding. But what sets them apart, and what they are most passionate about, is their Code Coaching approach. If your child has an interest in coding, or you’d like to give them that opportunity to explore this exciting space, today’s episode is for you.
