Every holiday season has an ‘it’ toy. The one that all the kids in each age range have to have or their world will literally end as they know it. This leads to packs of panicky parents stampeding through miles of stores in the hope that they can get their hands on the popular toy before stock runs out and prices skyrocket.

Skip the rat race this year and give them a gift that is guaranteed to outlast and outperform any ‘it’ toy

Screen time is one of the most divisive and discussed issues in the past decade. While screen time has been both championed and heavily demonized, the real truth may be somewhere in the middle.

Being able to adapt, communicate, and solve problems in multiple ways provides students an edge in not only earning a position in industries they are passionate about, but in managing everyday life successfully. Here are 3 real life benefits of building hybrid skills.

From the vast cornfields of Iowa to the cobbled streets of London, Coco Coders founder and CEO Elizabeth Tweedale has been setting new standards in coding education for young students. Now she’s back in the US and she brought her award winning coding curriculum for students 6-12 years old with her.

Coding is more than the high-stress keyboard smashing of blockbuster action movies that the early 90’s showcased, it’s an integral piece of many items and systems we use in our everyday lives. Coding is the language of the future, and here are ten reasons your child will benefit from learning about it now…

With more than half of the planet’s population connected through at least one internet-ready device, life looks very different today than it did just a couple decades ago. So how can we prepare our kids for a future that’s sure to be unlike anything we’ve ever seen?

At Coco Coders, we know that STEM education plays a pivotal role in shaping the jobs of the future, and this unified approach to teaching is at the heart of our coding lessons. Read on to find out how STEM can prepare your child for the high-tech careers of the future, and how learning to code can support their education.

Today we have launched a new brand, Coco Coders, for our online coding lessons. Until now, we’ve taught these online lessons under the Cypher Coders brand - which first launched in June 2016 offering in-person coding camps and clubs in London schools - but as the online part of our business has grown it has become a little confusing to talk about these very different products on the same website, in our emails and on our social channels.

It can be hard to get kids to sit down and eat at all, but what they consume can affect their level of focus and cognitive growth. The early years are especially critical for brain development. On average, children who have a higher consumption of unhealthy snacks and sugar-loaded drinks score lower on standardized tests. Additionally, deficiencies of nutrients such as iron and iodine can hinder cognitive and motor development. Often, these effects are permanent.

Choosing the right foods can help to ensure proper mental stability and growth, and also provide the right kind of energy to maintain focus, awareness and creativity. We picked 3 brain foods that are packed with nutrients and great for an easy AND healthy diet… 

Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) are important subjects for children to study because they help develop skills that kids need to become successful in their future careers. At Coco Coders, we’re focused on using STEM education to get kids #FutureReady by teaching core skills such as creativity, communication, and collaboration, through our award-winning coding curriculum.

At Coco Coders, we offer 60 minute interactive coding classes for kids. Each class is set up to challenge students and develop their abilities while encouraging creativity and collaboration. But how can they continue to practice coding between classes? If coding is their passion or they just enjoy doing it as a hobby, we have compiled a list of fun ways to practice coding between classes.

It is important to practice your skills outside the classroom so we made something special just for you. See below for our FREE coding activity with step-by-step instructions. Create your very own digital holiday card, and share it with your loved ones this Valentine’s Day. 

Coding classes for kids are a fun and interactive way for children to learn better mathematical skills, as well as creativity, collaboration and communication. You don’t need to be planning a career in coding to benefit from learning how to code.

As a coder and a father, I’ve always been keen for my kids to try their hands at programming. It’s not that I particularly want them to have careers as software developers — an understanding of the principles of code will give them a head start in…
