Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Robotics are technologies of the future. Lawrence High believes that all of these technologies require the knowledge of coding.
Seven million job openings require coding skills and coding jobs are growing in number around 12% faster than market average. This isn’t a trend that is going away.
Half of all job openings for coders are in non-tech industries, finance, manufacturing and healthcare. Every company that uses computers, needs someone to instruct those computers.
To prepare their students for the future, Lawrence High has introduced Coding as a part of the curriculum by Champions Inc. to make their students future ready ahead of students in other Countries.
The coding curriculum comprises of different layers which enable the student to Think out of the box, develop problem solving capabilities and finally code using High Level Languages like Python and Java.
Logical and Critical thinking improves the logic and reasoning capability.
Algorithmic Thinking improves the problem solving capabilities of the student.
Computational Thinking involves mental skills and practices for designing computations that get computers to do jobs for us and developing higher order thinking skills (HOTS)
Students are introduced to GUI based coding to enable them to read code before they learn to write code.
Class 1-3 students are gently introduced to applications and GUI based coding which simulate a programming mindset.
Class 4 students are introduced to Python and HTML and are able to design their webpages and also code in Python.
Class 5-6 students are introduced to concepts like decomposition, functions, variables, loops, conditionals using GUI Tools which develop on the programming constructs. They are also introduced to CSS and JavaScript to bring webpages to life.
Class 7-8 students are introduced to Object Oriented Concepts and Java through GUI Tools and also introduced to Data Structures.
By standard 6 students are experts in Python coding and by end of standard 10 students are experts in Java coding.
Students learn coding step by step every year and prepare LIVE coding projects which enhances their concepts.
Coding Projects done by the students will be uploaded on the website to show their coding skills.
