The Python overview is aimed at children over the age of 10. Children begin to learn the basics of programming such as variables, loops, if / then statements. From there they deal with graphics and ultimately develop the game.
In today's world, programming skills are becoming more and more important. Coding is no longer the only area of computer scientists and programmers, but it is a skill that will help you in any profession.
Looking to the future, children know that learning coding is important, but understanding which ones to learn can be a daunting task. Some languages are easy to learn, while others have a wider range of applications. But one language is perfect for a sweet spot. It's easy to learn and widely used in the real world, so it's a good idea to learn Python for kids.
