Frequently asked questions:

How does it work?

Each course lasts for 3 months, during which the child will receive a weekly fun and challenging task to complete independently. A 1-1 meeting with their tutor is available to help them finish the task, and at the end of the week, the child will present their solution with other children who have completed the task.

What does the program include?

The core of the program is project-based learning. Every month, the child will receive a project and the learning material needed to understand and finish the project. This material is broken down into weekly phases, giving the child enough time to finish the project. We also offer weekly 1-1 mentoring sessions. In these sessions, your child will discuss the project and its progress with a qualified mentor who will help and provide feedback. There are also weekly group sessions where your child will present their unique solutions for the project to the tutor and fellow students in a positive and supportive atmosphere, which will develop the child’s communication skills.

Why is learning coding beneficial for my child?

For children, learning to code is a great way to improve and develop their creativity, problem-solving, communication, and social skills. It also enables children to navigate programming and other related environments by themselves. That is why Codiska has developed a program that allows children to learn to code and have fun. It could also be your child’s first step into coding and programming, an industry growing daily.

Why is it beneficial to learn to code in your native language and not in English?

Children learn skills far more quickly in their native language. By allowing children to use their new skills in a native environment, it furthermore speeds up the learning process. It is unfortunately much harder for a child to switch and translate a newly learned skill to their native language, which makes the learning process harder for the child. This is why we at Codiska have all the learning material and the tutoring in the native language to ensure your child gets the best opportunity to learn to code.

For what ages are Codiska best suited for?

We offer programs for kids aged 6-14, with some being too challenging for 6-year-olds and some being too easy for 14-year-olds. However, even children as young as 5 or 6 can grasp the coding concepts. Sign up for our free trial to let your child try it out.

Coding seems rather tricky; will my child think it is fun?

Coding is an excellent tool for your kid to learn and explore their creativity and problem-solving ability. It’s a world in which they can create freely, which will challenge them continuously as they develop their skills more and more over time. At Codiska, we have also created an interactive program that teaches the child to code in a fun way. Let your child try for free through our free trial.

Why is 1-1 online tutoring beneficial for the child?

1-1 online tutoring can benefit a child because it provides personalized attention and allows the tutor to tailor their teaching style to their needs and learning pace. It also offers a more comfortable and familiar learning environment, which can lead to better engagement and retention of information. Additionally, online tutoring eliminates the need for trips and allows for more flexible scheduling, making it more convenient for both the child and the tutor.

That depends on the course, as some are more advanced.

In general, there will be 3-4 hours of work for the child creating a solution to the task. There are also 30-minute 1-1 tutoring sessions every week and one hour for the presentation of solutions every week, where all kids will present their solutions to the task.

Do I as a parent need to join the activities?

As a parent, you are welcome to join; however, all tasks are designed so that children can successfully finish them themselves.
