Kids 4 Coding

Description

• Kids 4 Coding is a year-round national award-winning technology center focused on STEM education & 21st Century Learning. We offer courses in Programming, App Development, Game Design, MinecraftEDU, 2D & 3D Animation and more. Denise Detamore & AnnMarie Laramee started Kids 4 Coding near Atlanta, Georgia, about 3 years ago. Detamore had been a highly respected educator for 20 years, and Laramee's background was in business and marketing. Friends for 10 years, they set out to create an academic enrichment center focused on technology.Part of the reason Detamore and Laramee think that centers like theirs need to exist is because tech education, especially in public & many private schools, isn't sufficient. Schools are not adequately providing education to train a future workforce. No one is really completely tracking exactly how many schools are offering computer science, but NPR reports they believe that only 5-10% of the schools are actually teaching computer science, Detamore said. Yet, that's where the workforce is going, she said. And the US is falling behind. They think the wise approach is to start kids young on the path to digital literacyWhether or not these kids ever decide to go into technology jobs, they'll have a skill set that will be increasingly in demand, said Detamore and Laramee.Going forward, Detamore and Laramee hope they'll be able to expand their class offerings, and even their facility, down the line. For those outside of Atlanta, the center provides an excellent example of grassroots innovation in prepping kids in general (and girls specifically) in coding and tech.2015 AWARDS*ATLAN10 Contest: Kids 4 Coding won 5th place in the ATLAN10 Microsoft Contest for Atlanta's Most Young Innovative Tech Startups*Entrepreneur Magazine: National Finalist in Entrepreneur Magazine & Chevy's City Express to Success for small business with passion and vision.
