But nowadays AI can write code, so maybe all those kids learning coding were just wasting their time. Should my kid learn AI, then? But who knows how long this will last\u2014so should my kid learn anything at all?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s tackle these questions by quickly remembering how everything started and developed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The \u201cLearn to Code\u201d boom began around 2012. Coding boot-camps exploded as pathways into tech careers; even the U.S. president of the time encouraged, \u201cDon\u2019t just play on your phone\u2014program it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Between 2016 and 2019, focus shifted toward children and teens. Chain-style coding schools like Code Ninjas emerged, and platforms such as Scratch and Bitsbox proliferated. Just like math tutoring or piano lessons, many parents enrolled their kids in coding courses to get them \u201cfuture-ready.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Around 2018\u20132021, public schools began moving computer science from after-school clubs into the core curriculum. While many students were already more advanced than their teachers, and the material sometimes lagged industry trends, coding had finally become institutionalized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Enter 2023, when everyone started talking about AI. Tools like ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, and Replit AI could generate code from a simple prompt\u2014and if you needed data (text, images, statistics), AI could create or organize it faster than any human.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"559\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/codecraze.com\/staging\/5027\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Image_fx-10.png?resize=1024%2C559&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-365\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/codecraze.com\/staging\/5027\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Image_fx-10.png?resize=1024%2C559&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/codecraze.com\/staging\/5027\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Image_fx-10.png?resize=300%2C164&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/codecraze.com\/staging\/5027\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Image_fx-10.png?w=1408&amp;ssl=1 1408w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At this point, we have to recognize that coding education\u2014while emblematic of this shift\u2014is only one facet of a much broader change. Parents of high-schoolers (and even younger students) have likely noticed kids using these tools in class. Desperate teachers and professors scramble to keep up, and teaching often becomes a game of \u201ccatch me if you can.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So the question \u201cShould my child learn to code?\u201d or \u201cShould my child learn AI?\u201d must be reframed under a higher-level inquiry:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-d1a4c179440d5a231467184d99937a83 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What knowledge and skills should our youth master in 2025 and beyond?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-77153816d220b72c93587c98e8ef26c8\"><br><strong>The CodeCraze Approach<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-813d36270a2a178e87b30318f4fa1516\">Dream It.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"559\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/codecraze.com\/staging\/5027\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Image_fx-2.png?resize=1024%2C559&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-367\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/codecraze.com\/staging\/5027\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Image_fx-2.png?resize=1024%2C559&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/codecraze.com\/staging\/5027\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Image_fx-2.png?resize=300%2C164&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/codecraze.com\/staging\/5027\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Image_fx-2.png?resize=768%2C419&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/codecraze.com\/staging\/5027\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Image_fx-2.png?w=1408&amp;ssl=1 1408w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>CodeCraze opened in 2017 under the motto <strong>\u201cDream It.

As students craft code, assemble robots, or prototype devices, they learn through trial and error\u2014and failure becomes invaluable data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Algorithmic &amp; analytical thinking<\/strong> are always front and center. For example, rather than merely teaching syntax for displaying a game score, we ask:\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">\u201cHow would&nbsp;<em>you<\/em>&nbsp;design scoring if you built this language?\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">\u201cHow does the computer \u2018remember\u2019 a changing score?\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">\u201cWhy do we need variables instead of hard-coding the number?\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The educator\u2019s art lies in applying this approach\u2014sometimes implicitly\u2014so the child stays engaged rather than feeling interrogated by an overload of questions. At CodeCraze, we are trained in, and experienced with, this didactic mindset. The key is that, when we successfully shape the class dynamic in this way, the outcome is not simply a child who can competently use, say, the Python programming language and its syntax. Instead, it is a child who approaches new domains with a critical mindset\u2014able to discern what to adopt, what to disregard, and what to adapt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, when a new technological tool emerges\u2014such as a Large Language Model like ChatGPT or any modern AI application\u2014our students can evaluate how best to use it, and in which contexts. They will be able to critically assess its different aspects and adapt to its useful features more quickly and effectively than their peers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, imagine a student asking ChatGPT to write a program for a computer game, only to find that the result doesn\u2019t behave as intended. A student trained in the type of thinking we foster will begin by examining the prompt carefully, identifying any wording that might have been unclear or incomplete. Then, they will be able to follow the AI-generated code and spot issues\u2014even if they have never been trained in that particular programming language. This capability is the direct result of our special curriculum, which you can read more about in our upcoming blog entry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-8e7e7a24b6d005bd6f7f7517c333c051\">Share It.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"559\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/codecraze.com\/staging\/5027\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Image_fx-4.png?resize=1024%2C559&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-369\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/codecraze.com\/staging\/5027\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Image_fx-4.png?resize=1024%2C559&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/codecraze.com\/staging\/5027\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Image_fx-4.png?resize=300%2C164&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/codecraze.com\/staging\/5027\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Image_fx-4.png?resize=768%2C419&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/codecraze.com\/staging\/5027\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Image_fx-4.png?w=1408&amp;ssl=1 1408w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The final step is \u201cshare.\u201d More than in many other fields, technology thrives on constant communication and collaboration. That said, not all students enjoy being social. If social connection is a parent\u2019s primary goal, we do our best to facilitate it\u2014but it is perfectly fine for a student to prefer working alone (read more on this under \u201cNeurodivergent Students\u201d). Even in those cases, we teach students how to make the most of free, publicly available information: coders can read other coders\u2019 questions and solutions online, robotics students can watch videos of other robots in action, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are proven ways to optimize this collective learning process, and we demonstrate them in our classes. But \u201csharing\u201d is not just about taking\u2014we also encourage giving back to the community by contributing ideas, sharing lessons learned (including failures and frustrations), and presenting projects they are proud of. At this stage, issues such as intellectual property rights and the ethical use of AI become important. This is a largely neglected area in children\u2019s tech education, so we make it a point to emphasize it and dedicate part of our curriculum to exploring it in depth. In short, we teach them to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Tap community resources<\/strong>&nbsp;(forums, videos, open-source projects) with a critical eye.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Share their own work<\/strong>\u2014code snippets, robot designs, or digital artifacts\u2014and solicit feedback.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Navigate ethics &amp; copyright<\/strong>\u2014especially vital when using or building upon AI-generated content.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Should my kid learn how to code?
