Education is a vitally important part of what LiveCode offers. We believe there is no other environment available that measures up to what it can provide in an educational setting, especially for older children and young adults. To help students realise their full potential in this area, we have just signed up a new partner in education.
Tekkie Uni and LiveCode
I’m incredibly excited today to be able to introduce Tekkie Uni, our brand new LiveCode Official Partner for Education Ages 10-17. Tekkie Uni are a well established educational content provider with an impressive pedigree, running a phenomenal series of online courses to teach App Development for Kids. This entire course is based on LiveCode and is available at three levels. Unlike many other online training courses, Tekkie Uni teach students in small classes with a live teacher in each and every class. Tekkie Uni also offer online teacher training courses and licensed curriculum materials for schools. We’re delighted to be able to offer both the online App Development courses and the teacher training and curriculum materials to you on behalf of Tekkie Uni.
Why Learn to Code?
Tekkie Uni’s values are very much aligned with our own. We know that kids love to play online games and use smartphone apps, sometimes for longer than is ideal and in a way that is often incredibly passive. By learning to code we can help shift kids from being digital consumers to becoming digital creators. And what better way to do that than with LiveCode?
Here is what Tekkie Uni and LiveCode both believe:
- Coding develops thinking skills. It requires high levels of activity in multiple areas of the brain and develops logical, process-oriented thinking.
- Coding develops creativity. Working on coding projects inspires imagination. It challenges kids to think outside the box and solve problems in a creative way.
- Coding builds confidence. Designing and implementing coding projects from scratch and sharing self-made products with family and friends, allows every child to experience the feeling of success.
- Coding contributes to success in other fields. Learning to code provides a new way of thinking about abstract mathematical concepts. It encourages creative thinking. It teaches students a new, highly logical way of communicating. As a result, it supports student success in such diverse fields as math, art and reading comprehension.
- Coding leads to innovation. Coding is everywhere. It has revolutionized the way we consume knowledge, work and connect with people. Learned at a young age, coding gives young people the tools they will need to play an active role as innovators in this new digital world.
- Coding is best learned at a young age. Learning to code is often compared to learning a new language. Kids learn faster, understand better and absorb more when they’re taught coding at a young age.
The Tekkie Uni LiveCode Course
Tekkie Uni really understand what it takes to provide an amazing experience for every child that goes through their classes. They teach concepts step-by-step and create apps and games that the kids can share with each other and their parents. Each level of their three levels is taught over 10 months. They have some 150 fully trained teachers around the globe, teaching 5,000 students LiveCode at these three levels every year. This makes Tekkie Uni one of the largest providers of online small group learning in any subject globally.
The course costs $99/month and includes a money back guarantee during the first trial month. This cost includes everything, including a LiveCode license for the duration of the course, teaching in small classes with a teacher, a platform for children to share their work and more.
In 315 reviews Tekkie Uni scored 4.9 out of 5 on Trustpilot. You can read more here.
Do you know a child that would benefit from a coding boost?
Teaching coding isn’t easy. Even if you have time and coding skills, teaching a child is a challenge in itself! And yet this is such an important skill in today’s world. Even if your child’s school teaches coding, do they do it in a way that engages? Is every child getting that opportunity tuned to their interest and abilities? Tekkie Uni have proven they can do just that for your child. LiveCode may be the easiest programming language to learn out there, but there is still infinitely more depth to it than say, learning how to build with a lego set. Like music lessons or academic study it takes dedicated tutoring.
A Priceless Christmas Gift
Learning to code has the potential to be a truly life changing Christmas gift. Even priceless.
