How CODDY’s IT Education Prepares Kids to Tackle Digital Challenges

Have you ever wondered why kids spend so much time glued to their smartphones? Social media feeds, short videos, endless notifications—all of these create what we call a “digital trap.” Unfortunately, traditional schooling doesn’t teach kids how to break free from it or use technology mindfully.

Many parents worry about their children spending excessive time on their phones. Homework often turns into an endless scroll through chats or social media. Twelve-year-old Ivan, for example, found himself distracted by memes when he was supposed to be learning Python during class. The constant stream of instant rewards from his phone pulled his focus away from studying.

At CODDY, we realized that teaching kids to control technology instead of being controlled by it is crucial. It’s not just about learning how to create apps or build software; it’s about showing kids how to use their skills and tech tools consciously.

For example, during one of our courses, students developed a game designed to track and manage their screen time. The goal they set for themselves was to counteract digital addiction. The game rewarded players for reaching daily phone-use limits, turning conscious tech habits into a fun challenge.

Another student, 8-year-old Dasha, approached her project with a creative twist. She used screen-time tracking to design a mini mobile game, including a playful reminder that popped up saying, “Enough scrolling—it’s time to save the cat!” It was both fun and effective, blending tech awareness with creativity.

At CODDY, children gain more than just technical skills—they learn how to apply their knowledge responsibly. We encourage:

• Exploring algorithms to address real-life problems.
• Balancing creativity with mindful gadget use.
• Transforming their passion for technology into tools for positive change.

Every project we introduce includes a component that reflects on how technology influences us and how it can be used productively. This approach turns learning into a meaningful, well-rounded experience.

Instead of wasting time on aimless scrolling, our students develop their own digital projects. They learn that mastering technology is empowering and rewarding. By adopting an intentional mindset, these kids transition from passive users to creators and thinkers who are ready to innovate in the future.
