Disclaimer: I received a FREE copy of this product through the HOMESCHOOL REVIEW CREW in exchange for my honest review. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way.
I have some very tech-savvy, computer oriented kids around my house. They are always saying they want to learn more about code for homeschool, but there's no way I can teach them! I know the basics of computers and programming, but that's it, only the very basics. That's why I am so glad that there are so many great online resources available for learning coding and programming for my boys. I have been given the opportunity to look over Homeschool Code Academy to use for my boys as one of these awesome resources.

The course that we received, Python for Beginners: Learn Coding at Home, is recommended for about 5th grade and up and anyone who is an absolute beginner. There is a bit of math knowledge required including adding, subtracting, multiplication, division, fractions, decimals, and geometry. The course is set up to move step-by-step through each lesson, with each lesson building on the previous ones, so there's no jumping ahead. But, the student can go back and review. The lessons are taught through videos and text with the majority of the lessons containing short videos.
Why is learning coding a benefit for homeschool kids? Besides the obvious fact that technology is huge in our world today, there's also the logic, problem solving skills, math, and creativity that comes with learning any kind of coding program. This course, Python for Beginners: Learn Coding at Home has challenges and activities that the students complete throughout each lesson that will allow for critical thinking and building up of games and programs that the kids get to play with immediately. They will have fun learning along the way!
My boys have loved every coding program that has come their way, and I'm sure they will love using this one in the future. If you'd like to see what others had to say about this Python coding course, you can click on the banner below.
Thank you Desiree for your thoughtful review! We can't agree with you more on the benefits of learning coding. Whether or not a student pursues coding as a profession there are huge benefits in the problem solving, logic, and critical thinking skills they gain. We hope your boys have a great time learning Python coding. We'd love to see what they learn to create.
