We want to create PythaKids, a programming school that uses robotics to teach the youngest (ages 6-12), as well as offer workshops for older people focused on the web or on more complex programming concepts.

So we are a young structure, actually not even established yet but with the will to put in capacity to teach by September.

To overcome the difficulty of starting a business, we decided to launch PythaKids in auto entrepreneurship.

We already have a partnership that would provide us with a local and public, however we lack all that is material:

laptops / tablets (between 12 and 20)
headphones audios (between 12 and 20)
robots (between 12 and 20)
Internet connection
projector and printer

Project display

Connected objects are an integral part of our daily lives. These objects do have a vital role in the functioning of today’s society.

Appliances to smartphones, traffic lights, home automation, but also computers … These objects shape our way of life and envision the future.

Understanding the functioning of these objects around us has become one of the major challenges of the school to train future generations.

That’s why robots for children are the perfect way to learn to program.

For these reasons, learning to program with robotics means providing the citizens of tomorrow with keys to understanding the world in which we live.

This project was born from the will of two students wishing to teach programming to the youngest, not to make them become programmers but to make them understand the world of tomorrow and today.

Project values

Being in the digital age, our society relies on the smooth operation of various electronic objects, smartphones, vacuum cleaners and other robots, drones etc.

However for these objects to work, a human is always present at different points, maintenance, order execution of orders, in the design itself.

This is why programming has become a necessary knowledge, programming is basic literacy in the digital age and it is important for children to understand and master the technologies that surround them.

Perhaps the most important aspect of programming from a learning point of view is that it helps children learn logic and reasoning.

The heart of programming is problem solving, which requires some discipline.

When you run a program and the result does not match your expectations, then you have to look in the logic of the program and found the error.

Skills associated with computer programming help children develop new ways of thinking and develop problem-solving skills that can have a big impact in other areas.

Computer thinking allows children to understand concepts such as algorithms, recursion and heuristics. Even if they do not understand the terms, they will learn the basic concepts

Programming improves school performance:

Mathematics: Programming helps children visualize abstract concepts, allows them to apply mathematics to real-life situations, and makes math fun and creative.

Writing: Children who code understand the value of conciseness and planning, which translates into better writing skills.

Creativity: Children learn through experimentation and reinforce their brains when coding, allowing them to harness their creativity.

Programming creates general skills:

Concentration and organization: as they write more complicated code, children naturally develop a better concentration and organization.

Resilience: Programming involves debugging – and there is no better way to build perseverance and resilience than to meet challenges.

The motivations

We are aware of the importance of new technologies in our society. So important that in a decade or so, we will see new waves of unemployment linked to the emergence of robotics and artificial intelligence. This is why programming has become a necessary knowledge, programming is basic literacy in the digital age and it is important for children to understand and master the technologies that surround them. We want to provide the citizens of tomorrow with keys to understanding the world in which we live.
