In this video I want to talk about a very popular business and career skill for kids and that is learning

how to code making programs or making apps for making fun websites.

And it's not that fun to actually code the websites but it can be made to be fun.

There's many websites that teach kids programming.

One example here is this tinker t y and k e r dot com.

And again it's something you can guide your child into or you can pick up a cool project a little cool

or cool little game that you can make on your own.

And it's really easy to make the small games like little puzzle games for the phone.

They're really simple.

You can even buy an added sauf software code so you don't have to read anything from scratch or if you

want to write something from scratch and if you want to get into your second and third app that is more

complicated.

There's a fantastic website Stack Overflow datacom and I've built up before and it literally could not

have done it without the site.

It's a community of programmers who for free answer each other's questions and help each other it's

a community and there's a lot of really high level experts if you have beginner questions that you will

if you're doing a new app with your kid.

People here will answer your questions right away and we'll help you be get sort of unstuck if you're

stuck in the worst part about being about programming is when you are stuck and when you can't figure

anything out.

And this is where you're going to get the help.

Also what might help along is surely in your kid's school there are some tech core programming clubs.

If there aren't you can sort of help them get started with it.

Maybe they can lead one and start one.

And if you really feel like you want to pursue this but don't feel the confidence you can hire a coach

you can hire a coach online or you can hire a coach maybe locally who's just a programmer who is sociable

enough to maybe come in for an hour a week and coach you these kinds of coaches locally maybe in the

United States they might range from 50 $250 an hour if that's pricey.

A cheaper option might be to hire a overseas freelancer too instead of program the app for you to coach

you over Skype and guide you along so that your project that you choose will keep on moving forward

and you'll be able to launch your out or web site.

So these are some interesting ideas too easily without too much frustration.

Get your kid into being a tech nerd which is a very lucrative kind of thing to be these days.
