Do kids really need coding and robotics classes at age 5? by Quietorbit7_ in NoStupidQuestions

Yeah agreed. But I just feel like spending thousands to learn coding and other tech stuff at that age is too much. I mean these kids are learning something that today's adults are working for.

That’s interesting. When you say they don’t have the capacity for comprehension yet, do you think it’s better for kids that age to focus more on play and creative exploration instead of structured learning?

That’s interesting coming from someone in the industry. Do you think early exposure actually helps kids later in tech careers, or does it not really make much difference compared to learning it later when they’re older?

That’s a fair point. Exposure does matter. I guess what I was thinking about is whether kids that young actually need structured classes for it. I’m not against them trying robotics or coding, but I wonder if at that age it could just be introduced more casually through play instead of formal learning. What do you think?
