Why Learning Coding (Python) Is a Skill on High Demand?

Coding (python) Sunday classes with Richer Education

Learning to code is an essential and valuable skill that most children should develop. Nevertheless, learning coding may seem tedious and laborious if a child has no desire to become a computer scientist. As technology evolves and becomes more complex, the demand for people who know how to code will only grow, making it increasingly more difficult to fill open positions at many companies. Python enables children to be creative and to follow logical steps. For children to get ahead in life, they will need access to coding classes so they can begin learning and developing the skills required to stand out from the crowd as they go to university and enter the workforce.

IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT YOUR CHILD STUDIES AT UNIVERSITY. YOUR CHILD STILL NEEDS PYTHON 

Many universities require students to have strong Python knowledge regardless of their specialism. For instance, top universities in the United Kingdom and the rest of the world include compulsory modules of Python, irrespective of the degree. Equally, the demand for Python in top companies is high. Leading universities and top companies worldwide want their students and workforce to be highly competitive and well-prepared to cope with the advancement of technological demands. 

We are aware of the academic and professional challenges that children will face as they grow. Therefore, we provide an opportunity for children who are absolute beginners with little or no background in coding to learn how to code using Python. Likewise, we support children with intermediate and advanced knowledge in coding to continue developing their coding skills. As children progress in our Python courses, they feel more confident when developing their coding skills.

LEADING COMPANIES USE PYTHON

A few decades ago, many companies required their employees to be proficient in Word, Excel and PowerPoint. Today, top companies worldwide tend to assume that their employees know their IT skills; this has changed. Top companies expect their employees to be highly skilled in Python and other coding languages despite the type job held. Parents who are aware of the current job market demands tend to motivate their children to learn how to code. Currently, many parents can foresee and understand why their children need to learn Python and constantly develop their coding skills. The demand for Python programmers has increased drastically over recent years and it will continue growing in years to come. Those who can use Python are far more competitive and productive than their counterparts at schools, universities and professional environments. 

We always encourage parents and schools to ensure specialists lead Python courses, camps and tuitions. We employ specialist tutors and mentors with a secure knowledge of Python and other coding languages. Equally, our tutors and mentors have experience teaching children and catering for different levels and paces to understand coding and programming.

Richer Education is the UK leader for all Python & coding classes in London. Give your child the best start in life by booking coding classes based on real learning, and they will also enjoy themselves.

Five Reasons Why We Use Cutting-Edge Technology

Fun and Educational camps using Virtual Reality with Richer Education

Combining cutting-edge technology with real-world learning can help children understand subjects such as science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM) in new and exciting ways that promote engagement and make learning fun. Here are five reasons why we use cutting-edge technology in our STEAM weekend classes and holiday camps.

1) BOOSTS ENGAGEMENT

Teaching STEAM subjects to kids can be a real challenge due to how kids perceive and experience each subject at their schools. Nonetheless, with today’s resources, children demonstrate a better understanding of topics that can be challenging. One of the most exciting developments is Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR). Parents might be wondering how it can work within a classroom setting. For instance, in science, children travel ‘inside the body’ to provide a better understanding of how human cells work. Likewise, during an engineering lesson, children can examine and deconstruct a turbine engine to understand how planes fly. Among other resources, we use VR and AR simulations to boost engagement, helping children to explore and contextualise theory in the real world.

2) ENCOURAGES COLLABORATION

Teamwork and collaboration are essential skills that help students become more effective, productive and happy. Thus, we use cutting-edge technology, such as humanoid robots, as immersive educational tools, to encourage children to work in teams. Schools, universities and employers expect their human capital to work collaboratively. Therefore, we motivate children to work as a team by discussing ideas and finding solutions as a team, taking advantage of the available technology.

3) FOSTERS CRITICAL THINKING

We encourage children to think beyond the school curriculum during our weekend classes and camps. We want children to develop skills that enable them to see beyond ‘the face value of a given situation to find the best possible solutions. Using cutting-edge resources allows children to learn concepts by manipulating objects in virtual environments. High-quality resources are essential for complex subjects such as chemistry, biology, engineering that require children to use their imagination and think beyond the obvious. We encourage children to do more than simply be aware of a subject; we want children to experience and understand the subject and be able to think critically and contribute to new ideas.

4) PROMOTES ACTIVE LEARNING

Active learning fosters an engaging, interactive and hands-on experience. Active learning is one of the main reasons why we invest in the best and latest resources available in the educational field. We make use of the best resources to have a better understanding of the subject and to accelerate their learning. This approach creates a more exciting and memorable learning experience than traditional methods.

5) TEACHES REAL-WORLD APPLICATIONS 

As education experts, we usually observe how children go the extra mile to excel academically. Nonetheless, we also observe that some children, who are academically excelling, still need to establish connections between the school subjects they learned and the real-life application of the subject. We use technology to ensure that children understand and experience the subject in a way that enables them to think about the real-world application of school subjects. During our STEAM weekend classes and holiday camps, we constantly encourage children to understand how their school subjects come to life when used in the real world.

We equip our weekend classes and holiday camps with the latests and best resources to accelerate children’s learning and enhance children’s learning experience.
If you have kids who are aged 4-17, we highly recommend that you sign them up for our weekend classes and holiday camps in Chelsea, South Kensington or Marylebone. It is always good for children to continue developing skills and learning how to apply their school subjects in the real-world.Richer Education is the UK leader for STEAM classes and camps, based on real learning. Give your child the best start in life by allowing them to learn the most about STEAM subjects whilst they are young, and they will also enjoy themselves.
