Remote programming group TECHVISATA

Let your kids get to know the joys of computing and make it their future career. A computer is not just for gaming and entertainment, but it is a very important tool for today’s work.

What is a programming circle? By letting our children get to know what a programming club is, we develop the speed of thinking and the ability to find correct and quick solutions. Someone is born with a talent for this subject, while others master each topic through hard and consistent work.

A child, like an adult, has several ways of perceiving, so you need to choose the one that best suits your child. And then, the individual programming circle becomes exactly that engine, because the teacher will quickly discover and understand how to approach your child with seemingly complex information, how to interest, motivate and inspire him.

Coding Circle: How Does It Benefit Your Child? Learning to code can seem daunting to a child, but today’s academic programs focus on simplicity and the visual aspect of education. Regardless of age or geographic location, anyone can learn to program from the comfort of their own home. The programming club will help the child to express himself in a safe environment.

The programming circle takes place remotely.

You can find more information about the group on the TECHVISATA website, in a Facebook account.
