Kodris Africa

Kodris Africa is a platform established with the purpose of teaching children ages 7 to 16 how to code. With coding and algorithms, children are able to acquire 21st-century skills such as the ability to approach problems from different perspectives and to produce solutions, to think systematically and creatively and to come up with the shortest solutions. When students grasp the logic of algorithms, they realize that everything occurs in a certain order and without that specific order, things that need to be done cannot be accomplished. Coding is not only limited to computer sciences, but it is also very important in terms of interdisciplinary interactions. Algorithmic thinking, analytical thinking and critical thinking, as well as problem solving and design-oriented thinking are all considered the skills of our era. Many developed countries, having realized the importance of these skills, have made radical changes in their education systems. Countries such as the USA, England, France, Finland, Germany, South Korea and Israel have added coding courses to their curriculum from elementary school onwards in order to equip individuals with these 21st century skills starting at an early age.
