Cultivating Young Creators Through Coding

Laksh – Grade 3 Student

When Laksh, a 3rd grader at our after-school code club, secretly spent a month creating an interactive Scratch birthday card for his younger brother, he wasn’t just coding — he was creating something from the heart. The idea was his own, driven purely by curiosity and affection. On his brother’s birthday, he proudly revealed the digital card — a thoughtful, animated surprise that reflected not only his love but also his growing confidence as a young creator.

Stories like Laksh’s remind us what learning can truly be — joyful, meaningful, and self-driven. At Sanketana, we go beyond teaching coding. We focus on cultivating computational thinking and creative problem-solving, inspired by the Constructivist approach and the Maker Movement. Children learn by exploring, building, and expressing — not by memorizing or racing through a syllabus.

Through projects like games, animations, and puzzles, kids develop vital life skills such as creativity, teamwork, design thinking, and communication. These abilities extend far beyond the computer — influencing how they learn, collaborate, and approach challenges in everyday life.

For many children, coding quickly becomes a deeply engaging and fulfilling experience. As they start creating and sharing their own projects, they see themselves as inventors and creators — discovering a sense of agency that builds confidence and curiosity.

We believe coding is more than a technical skill — it’s a powerful tool for thinking and creating. When children learn to code in a playful, supportive environment, they’re not just preparing for the future — they’re discovering the joy of learning itself.
