Re: Generation Z
@vnewman:

Wow, coding bootcamp for toddlers? I am sure that must be recreational not the real coding coding type. But surely that must lay a ground in terms of getting those tiny brains familiar with looks of programs. Sometimes we never know there could be a child prodgy sitting in that group of kids that may walk out of that bootcamp writing a program.

That is interesting to know.

This makes sense. When a person's brain is trained to work well with multiple languages the efficiency quotient would have been increased.

Re: Generation Z
Here in California - they offer coding summer bootcamp for toddlers - possibly as a side-effect of being near silicon vally and silicon beach.  The target market group is 4-5 year olds. There are a number of apps, computer games and toys that all promise to teach your toddler how to code.

Re: Generation Z
@ms.akkinei - It appears being multi-lingual likely makes you "smarter" as well.

Published in the Journal of Neurolinguistics, the study tested groups of bilingual and monolingual subjects and shows that bilingual brains are more efficient and economical as they recruited fewer regions of the brain to complete the task.

Wouldn't have outlined it any better. That occurence of collaborating with multi-cultural teams has becoming very common in this global age. It's like a daily thing and hence ability to converse and get jelled is certaily a plus.

Re: Personal Experience
Unlike some Millenials, Generation Z has probably never had to go anywhere without a cell phone. They certainly don't remember the days when music videos were played on MTV. You can watch those whenever you want on a smartphone now.

Re: Personal Experience
@afwriter I bet the idea of having to use a land line to call for driving directions because there weren't any cell phones or google maps must sound absolutely bizarre to them too!

Re: Generation Z
@ms.akkineni I agree! I found this to be especially true when working with cross-cultural teams. Just sharing a meal often helps alleviate some of the frustrations that can come along with different work styles, communication quirks, & even language barriers.

Re: Generation Z
@vnewman Good point. There needs to be a balance between providing motivation & avenues for accountability vs. being a virtual babysitter.

Re: Generation Z
@elizabethv:

That is very true. Schools have computers and coding related stuff introduced for kids as early as KG. That is making them strat learning things with computers very quickly. By the time they turn 10, most of the kids are becoming pros with majority of the technology. That is an amazing trend. SOme times at that age kids are even surpassing some of teh adults that are not very connceted with technology world.
