We are increasingly
entering a time where robots will become a part of our day-to-day lives. The
way in which the invention of machines led to the industrial revolution back in
the day, and changes the importance of labour and the most valuable skillsets changed
almost overnight, invention of robotics and its development will lead to a lot
of changes in the most demanded skills in the society.
It is because of
this reason that kids’ programming language
and coding skills are becoming a trend in the bigger cities. Everyone knows how
this generation is far more competitive and smart than any other generation
that has preceded it. Hence, skills and knowledge that is considered to be
‘geeky’ and ‘nerdy’ today will be needed by every single person.
20 years ago, we
considered someone who used the computer to be a smart person and a nerd.
Today, it is the basic requirement of every white collar worker. Even blue
collar workers need to use them from time to time!!
Similarly, the way
we perceive coding and robotics for kids
has to change on an immediate basis if we are to raise them in the best
possible way. In order to prepare them for a future that involves robotics in
almost every aspect of work and lifestyle, they need to understand the basics
of robotics and have very strong hold on the stem subjects - Science,
Technology, Engineering and Math.
Of course, as a
parent in one of the best cities of the country, you have several options to do
that. You may either go to an after-school centre or opt for those schools
which have such programs for kids of your age. Whichever way you go, make sure
you choose the best for your child. All the best!!
