View source for Teach Children Computer Coding for a Better Future

{{Project
|Description=In this age of digital technology, children shouldn't only be digital consumers  but should also learn to produce.Schooling system in Turkey does not allow for programs to develop  creativity and free minds. Private schools have special programs but only for kids who can afford it. CYDD aims to give young children of low income families who don't even have computers at home this opportunity to learn computer coding in a fun way, enjoy being creative ,produce and gain self confidence.


__toc__
=Challenge=
Children from low income families in Turkey have to go to public schools with overcrowded classes and study under a classical schooling system which is based on memorization and does not encourage  free thinking and creativity.These children who do not have computers at home or in school are falling behind in this digital technology age. CYDD offers free specially designed fun computer coding courses  to children of 8-12 years to show them that they can easily create if guided.

=Long-Term Impact=
Children who are introduced to creative and analytical thinking in a fun program at a young age will become individuals hungry for knowledge and innovation. Having created a computer game of their own and having presented it to parents will boost their self confidence.Parents will no longer see computers as a threat to school work and will encourage their children to be creative. CYDD trainers will  gain great experience  and joy in teaching and volunteer work and it will help their careers.
