Expose

According to the Department of Education, “research shows that early exposure to STEM has positive impacts across the entire spectrum of learning. For example, early math knowledge not only predicts later math success, it also predicts later reading achievement (National Research Council, 2012)."  Despite this, many schools and early childhood programs in underserved areas lack the resources and capacity to focus on early STEM learning in developmentally appropriate ways.  KodeConnect, Inc knows that early exposure to STEM principles will be a predictor of future math and reading success.  Therefore, we focus our youngest participants in the Expose track where they can have early interaction with STEM and coding activities.  Our Hour of Kode is a great example of community outreach where our KodeConnect Volunteers spend an hour with kids and their parents in an interactive demonstration of the principles of coding.
