The 21st century is a century of rapid development of technologies, especially information technology, and information acts as a commodity. This is why today one of the key skills of a modern person is to deliver information with clarity and persuasively. One of the most effective and popular ways to achieve this is through presentations.
We live in a time of high screen competition, most people are visuals. The audience needs to see in order to better perceive and remember the necessary information. A properly designed presentation is an effective tool for demonstrating your ideas or selling a product or service. Hundreds of thousands of presentations are viewed daily at various, meetings, speeches, lessons and in the process of explaining new material. They are made by managers, analysts, marketers, sales professionals and many other specialists.
Creating presentations is a painstaking and time-consuming job. It is not enough just to place the text on the slide. It needs to be corrected, structured and accentuated. You need to highlight key information, as well as add appropriate pictures for a better perception of information. And all this is due to the use of visualization tools.
Canva is one of the most popular graphic editors worldwide. Due to its simplicity, the platform allows people who do not have professional design skills or work with special software to create logos, banners, graphics for social media and presentations based on ready-made templates.
Canva is currently used by more than 30 million people in 190 countries around the world. Users of the platform create 80 designs every second, and since the launch of the platform, more than 3 billion projects have been launched. Canva also offers various tools for teamwork: real-time interaction and even brainstorming.
Another popular platform for creating interactive multimedia projects with a nonlinear structure is Prezi. The service offers a large number of possibilities for visualizing slides, through the use of video materials, graphics and other elements.
Operation of the web service Prezi.com is based on the technology of scaling (approximation and distance of objects). The main feature of the service is a beautiful transition between the elements of the common canvas. Unlike the "classic" presentation divided into slides made in Microsoft PowerPoint, in Prezi the main effects are not associated with the transition from slide to slide, but with the increase of individual parts of the same slide.
The skill of creating high-quality slides can be obtained quickly enough, it does not require many years of study. Enroll your kid in the course "Creating an animated interactive presentation" developed by CODDY for 7 to 9 year-olds, and give him/her the opportunity to learn how to create effective presentations with modern design.

Description:
The skills of working with animated graphics are very relevant in various fields - the gaming industry, cinema, social networks, advertising. Animation is easier and more interesting to perceive - and this always helps to attract more attention to yourself and your project. And of course, it's cool, creative and very exciting!
During the course, thanks to animation, kids will learn to illustrate their messages more accurately and faster. Your kid's presentations will now definitely be cooler than those of other kids, they will be noticed, and they will definitely be different from the usual school presentations. And your child will definitely get an A and be singled out among his classmates!
He/she will be able to convey information faster, more accessible, brighter. This skill will be useful to the kid for all 12 years of school and in the future. And this skill - to create animation quickly and without complex programming - is needed right now!
The students will also gain practical skills of working on the content of the presentation, learn how to choose a topic and correctly submit information. They will create an animated presentation on the chosen topic - it can be a school topic, and a creative, educational project on the chosen topic - the world around us, travel, nature, hobbies, cool books, robotics, information technology, the world of modern professions. You can tell about all this in an interesting and vivid way with the help of an animated presentation.
The course is suitable for may kids: creative personalities and humanities, who are passionate about science, mathematics and programming. It will be useful to all the children who want to learn how to demonstrate their knowledge and success in a creative and interesting way and just stand out. The kid will have something to brag about and put on his page in the social network!

Schedule
I have no regrets about enrolling my daughter in these classes. By her third session, she has already given a presentation on animals. She always comes out of the classes happy and eager to share her new knowledge. She says it's all very interesting! Now she wants to explore the technique. The teachers are helpful and guide her in the right direction. They even offer workshops and excursions, which are all free. I wish I could join them too!
