Our classes typically consist of 8 year old, 9 year old, 10 year old, 11 year old, and 12 year old students. At these ages, children are old enough to concentrate and learn, yet they do not fear computers! After the children embark on creating simple customized animations, they move on to more complex tasks that involve control structures, etc. Ultimately we give our students the tools they need to program their own custom games.<\/p><p>Research has shown that the study of computer programming significantly helps children with brain development.\u00a0 Specifically, computer programming can have positive effects on a range of cognitive abilities, such as reasoning skills (which blocks to use for the program?), logical thinking (what will be the effect of these changes to the program?), planning skills (will a particular change have the intended consequence for the program?), and general problem-solving skills (how to debug the program?).\u00a0 The curriculum used by Panda Programmer has been developed and refined with these skills in mind.\u00a0<\/p><p>Furthermore, 8 year old students are beginning to consider possible careers.\u00a0 They will soon enter middle school! Their in-school and extracurricular activities can have a significant impact not only on their education, but also on their eventual selection of and training for a career.\u00a0 Programming opens up many doors and opportunities to many career paths involving engineering, medicine, research, and business.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>8 year old 8 year old children are the perfect age for our Panda Programmer classes.
