Does teaching coding to elementary students lead to better performance in other learning parameters including mathematics, logic tasks, and learning in general?
Coding is not difficult! It is inspirational! Look at recent legendary individuals who changed our world.
Two good places to start: These worked really well with my students ... both beginners and intermediate coders!

I find many students are also really interested in developing their own apps! This is really related to increasing 'agency' in learning and turning students to become creators instead of consumers.
If you have ideas for simple app-building activities or links for beginners, I would really appreciate if you share those by replying to this post.
