This is the perfect opportunity to introduce science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) concepts in a fun and engaging way. Here are a few ideas for your kids or students to have fun and learn indoors while the weather gets colder. Robot Kit Learn to Code Technology is all around us, and computer literacy and the ability to code are becoming as important as reading, writing, and math. There are plenty of methods to teach your child programming languages, and lots of options for different ages ranges that vary the challenge. Some are visual languages, with drag-and-drop blocks of code, while others require typing in the code manually. Your child’s age will likely play a factor in choosing which language they learn and how it is taught. They could learn Blocky, for example, which allows dragging and dropping. Arduino, on the other hand, requires manual coding but is a real
