The word community is used very often, most of the time when we talk about the community it is the adults, there are a few communities where kids have taken up a challenge and built a solution.
Kids enjoy many goodies that technology has given to, some kids do not know they can solve challenges around us, some know but are afraid to try, some think they are not part of the solution building when kids get into problem-solving.
They can overcome anything that comes their way and other kids will see that and say “ I want to build solutions as well, as more kids get into building solutions, we will begin to see strong communities.”.
This is our definition of “Strong Community”.
A strong community is when kids are involved in problem-solving.

Did you know that coding enhances math skills? Addition, subtraction, multiplication, division are all used for coding and are called operators. Functions in coding help to eliminate repetition. All these are seen frequently and used in math. Coding helps in learning math better. We believe that math is #1!
Collaborating is amazing. We all have different skills and strength in different areas. When we come together it is so amazing. More people working together towards a goal is more fun, and achievable at a faster pace. The result is amazing solutions.
Here is BugZero.codes equation:
The first step is for kids to practice coding and math every day + to collaborate with other kids = problem-solving in our home, school, and community.

I was at a school recently to talk to kids about coding and the benefits of learning how to code in today’s digital world. We all identified a common challenge in class which was how to make learning fun and enjoyable. That was a good one! Previously, I made a spelling app which was designed to solve this challenge. Every kid loved the spelling app.
The spelling app is played as a game, and it was fun! There was so much excitement! After playing the game, I told the students, every one of them, they can create an app that builds a solution to an existing challenge. They all wanted to know more about how they can create their own apps and I told them to learn how to code and shared some resources they can tap into. I shared this with Eugene and here is an interesting quote he came up with!
Kids attitude to coding will begin to change when we engage in coding and discover the fun in it, coding becomes a habit.

I woke up and checked the weather. It was 52. That’s a big change from what I expected. I had to change my school clothes and I wondered what it would be like without a weather forecast. Think about the satellites, radar, and computers used in predicting the weather forecast. Without weather forecast, I might plan an outdoor activity that might get canceled because of the rain that I had no clue was coming. I know technology has some downsides, but the change it has brought is amazing. Everyone can not be a programmer, but technology is changing the face of every profession and that change has come to stay. Do you know any profession that technology has not changed?
Don’t wait any longer! Start learning how to code today!

Coding teaches problem-solving and critical thinking. It also creates habits which help in continuous improvements. It is a different way of learning. It is very detailed. It teaches patience, sometimes we spend longer than usual time figuring out why the code is not running and what went wrong and how can it be fixed. Sometimes it allows you to realize that the only way you can debug the line of code is by being patient and looking at the line of code carefully.
Coding enhances math skills. Math is all around us from putting toothpaste on our toothbrush in the morning to adding milk to a bowl of cereal.

Reading is an essential part of learning how to code. Reading coding books can also improve your mind. When we read, we should be asking ourselves questions like “What did the author mean by that?
What was the author trying to say? Who or what is this paragraph talking about?”.
Questions we would ask ourselves using coding are the following: “Is there another way? Is there a cleaner way? Is there a faster way? Are there shorter codes so I don’t have to repeat?”
