At Kidadl we pride ourselves on offering families original ideas to make the most of time spent together at home or out and about, wherever you are in the world. We strive to recommend the very best things that are suggested by our community and are things we would do ourselves - our aim is to be the trusted friend to parents.
We try our very best, but cannot guarantee perfection. We will always aim to give you accurate information at the date of publication - however, information does change, so it’s important you do your own research, double-check and make the decision that is right for your family.
Kidadl provides inspiration to entertain and educate your children. We recognise that not all activities and ideas are appropriate and suitable for all children and families or in all circumstances. Our recommended activities are based on age but these are a guide. We recommend that these ideas are used as inspiration, that ideas are undertaken with appropriate adult supervision, and that each adult uses their own discretion and knowledge of their children to consider the safety and suitability.
Kidadl cannot accept liability for the execution of these ideas, and parental supervision is advised at all times, as safety is paramount. Anyone using the information provided by Kidadl does so at their own risk and we can not accept liability if things go wrong.
National Coding Week is celebrated in the United States and the United Kingdom.
The event is celebrated by coding enthusiasts, schools, and professionals in the Information Technology or Computer Science domains.
The event first started in 2014.
Tech entrepreneur Jordan Love and former headteacher Richard Rolfe started this popular annual event.
This annual event was initiated to support a generation of future coders and encourage people to learn coding skills and other digital skills.
The traditions and customs involved with this event are generally aimed at sharing resources or offering to teach computer skills for free to interested individuals. Many private companies also offer free online lessons or advice for future coders. Many schools also arrange coding events with prizes. Even inter-school events are arranged by various organizations associated with computer science, software development, or Information Technology in general.
Many school-sponsored events have been conducted during this period that teaches computer lessons or coding skills for children and adults. These events also inspire these children and adults to learn more about the subject and help them gain interest in computer systems. Professionals involved with these events are also quite active on social media to promote these events with the official National Coding Week hashtag.
You can choose to celebrate this special week by learning a new programming language or learning digital skills. Learning a new programming language such as Python, C++ or Java will expand your horizons and help you get better at coding in general. After celebrating this event, many have been inspired to take up a new programming language.
You can also learn front-end languages such as HTML and CSS for building websites. Learning how to code is as simple as learning how to place blocks after another; thus, you can easily learn how to code by watching online tutorials or studying coding resources. Resources such as research papers or study material from esteemed universities that can teach you how to code are readily available all over the internet. You can also choose to get involved with events or participate in fun activities such as Hour of Code.
The National Coding Week is held in September.
The National Coding Week was founded in the September of 2014.
Programmers Day, EU Code Week, and Computer Science Education Week are similar events.
Jordan Love and Richard Rolfe invented the concept of this event.
Some reasons for celebrating National Coding Week are to inform people that resources are freely available and inspire young minds and adults to take up coding. The week is also celebrated to support women coders and close the gender gap in computer skills or coding knowledge.
There are no limitations in celebrating National Coding Week.
