Computer Coding Boot Camp – Easter Break
The British Youth International college is hosting a Computer Coding Boot Camp this year during the Easter break from school. Does your child want to learn to make their own games? How about learn how their console games are made? This is all available during our Computer Coding Boot Camp this Easter!

What is Computer Coding?
Computer Coding or programming as its better known in the industry; is a way of telling the computer what to do. A programme (even your favourite game), is a list of instructions which tell the computer which actions to perform. The best way to describe this process is if I give you an example: I ask you to make me tea. You don’t know how to make me tea. Are you going to bring me tea? No. I write you a list of instructions on how to make me some tea. I tell you to read the list and make me tea. Do you bring me tea? Voila! You bring me tea.
Programming is very much the same, only we use algorithms and other not-so-complex methods to tell a computer to do something we want it to. These algorithms and such usually involve math, which is why programming is a great way to improve your child’s logical thinking. A kid who understands a computer program, likely understands more maths.
How is this of any use to my child?
This question is common. Why should my child learn to code? I’ll tell you this for free, if your child learns to code, and they stick with it throughout school and high school. They could be one of the UK’s top earners not even a decade after they leave school. Maybe you’re not so money motivated, perhaps happiness. Your child will have the opportunity to socialise with like-minded children in their age bracket while learning a valuable skill.
How do we know this is really the case?
