WHAT IS SHARKCODERS - Geniuses of Tomorrow

Answer: SHARKCODERS - Geniuses of Tomorrow is creating the GENIUSES OF TOMORROW, those who will be the New Professionals of the Future.

In our schools, we teach technology, programming, games, mobile applications and robotics to children and teenagers aged 4 to 17 in a fun and playful way.

With a unique, innovative and playful teaching methodology, we prepare the future of our society. We teach the literacy of the future in a fun way!

‍

WHAT IS THE REASON FOR SHARKCODERS' EXISTENCE?

Answer: After training as a Software Developer (Programming / IT), and after successfully developing mobile applications worldwide, the founder of SHARKCODERS (Andreas Vilela) realized that coding and programming would not only be professions and skills of the future, but also very valuable and crucial skills for life.

With programming, one develops logic, problem-solving, mathematics, English, concentration, teamwork, among other very important and transversal skills.

So, when founding SHARKCODERS, Andreas combined his knowledge in programming with the desire to allow it to reach children, anywhere in the world.

‍

WHAT IS OUR MISSION?

Answer: Our mission is to empower children and young people through technology, developing skills so that they stop being "consumers" of technology and become "creators" of technological solutions that can solve their daily problems.

It is also our vision and mission to combat inequalities, ensuring that children and adolescents, regardless of cultural, socioeconomic, and gender factors, have access to the new literacy of the future.

We believe that learning to program is as important as learning a second language, such as English.

‍

SHOULD MY CHILD LEARN PROGRAMMING?

Answer: Programming is the new literacy of the 21st century, it's the new English, for good reasons.

Like math, English, and science, coding is an essential aspect of understanding our technologically advanced world.

There's a huge need for this generation to not only understand technology, but to understand how it works and go beyond... It's important that today's children stop being "consumers" and become "creators."

Whether your child someday pursues a career in programming and technology, SHARKCODERS teaches them logic, problem-solving, confidence, focus, and many more skills that will serve them for the rest of their lives.
