Coding for Kids (C4K)

In light of advancing digital literacy, AmaliTech is convinced that equipping kids at early ages with digital skills and setting them on the right path towards technological exploration is vital for their future careers.

Through our Coding for Kids (C4K) initiative, we aim to equip these young minds with the necessary tools and skills to thrive in a technology-driven world, opening doors to future opportunities that may otherwise be inaccessible.

How Does C4K Work?

AmaliTech enables local ICT Teachers to impart fundamental coding skills to their pupils by means of an elaborate train the-teacher programme. Languages taught include Scratch, HTML/ CSS, Python and Java with subsequent mentoring of teachers by AmaliTech trainers.

Coding Competitions & Bootcamps

Coding Competitions and Bootcamps are held annually for young participants learning Coding from our C4K programme or young participants from invited schools and communities.
Our coding competitions will continue to create opportunities for underprivileged teens and kids to learn how to code. The joy of these experiences is seeing how these students/kids are shaped into problem-solvers, innovators and critical thinkers.

In an era dominated by technology, understanding the basics of coding from an early age enables children to interact with technology more meaningfully. This early education helps them understand and shape technology. Coding also promotes logical thinking applicable across various disciplines, and encourages perseverance through coding competitions.

The Coding For Kids Programme has been useful to the students enrolled in it. It has shaped their insights on what career path they would like to pursue. As an implementer of the programme, I have gained useful insights into handling kids and working with their creativity. These insights have helped me develop relevant tutelage to the students, teachers and trainers on the programme.

C4K offers immense benefits to students and the community. By introducing children to coding, it nurtures their curiosity and fosters constructive exploration. Through coding, they develop problem-solving skills and cognitive abilities while engaging in fun projects. This not only enriches their personal growth but also contributes to the community's progress by keeping them engaged in meaningful activities.
