Flow State: How CODDY Maintains Children's Focus in International Learning Environments

At CODDY, we've successfully created an engaging learning environment for children as young as 4 years old from diverse cultural backgrounds. Our international teaching methods have proven effective across different countries and cultures, helping children stay focused while learning programming concepts in their non-native languages.

Programming shouldn't start with writing code, especially for our youngest students. That's why our international curriculum incorporates educational games and applications that transcend language barriers. Through these tools, children:

• Create animations with self-designed characters (developing design and storytelling skills)
• Solve puzzles with animated characters (enhancing logical thinking)
• Build simple algorithms using block-based programming (learning programming basics)
• Develop their first mini-games to share with friends and family (gaining project management skills)

We also integrate globally popular games into our curriculum. Our Minecraft and Roblox courses are particularly successful in engaging children from different cultural backgrounds, as these platforms are familiar to children worldwide.

Project-based learning (PBL) forms the foundation of CODDY's international curriculum. Every course culminates in one or more practical projects, making learning tangible regardless of the student's native language.

Success Stories from Our International Students:

• "We built a website for our community's international food festival" - Tom and Alex, 12, Singapore

We understand that maintaining focus can be particularly challenging when learning in a non-native language. Our international teaching team employs various techniques to help students stay engaged:
