Basic Resources to teach your kids coding

Typing skills are no longer taught to kids today. If you have ever witnessed a toddler using an iPhone, you realize why this makes sense. Many people emphasize how significant teaching kids coding is because kids are growing up with computer skills as second nature. 


Schools all over the world are encouraging kids to learn how to code through coding games featuring characters from Doctor Who and Frozen. Almost all office jobs involve technology to some degree, even if it's just Outlook. 


To get your child started with coding, here are some resources you can use.
