Why Coding?

Be Future Ready NOW

Self-driving cars, Siri and AlphaGo are just a few examples of how AI and Machine Learning is transforming our lives. Software and robots are increasingly more capable of handling tasks previously carried out by humans, and this is just the beginning! To many, technology presents a huge challenge to the human race; to us at Cobo Academy, we see unprecedented opportunities for our next generation to thrive.

A New Language for ALL

As parents, we understand the importance of learning English and Mandarin at an early age. In the digital economy where every company is a software company, coding is the new language of technology every child should master. Whether or not your child aspires to be an engineer, early exposure to coding develops their logical problem-solving skills, unleashes their creativity, and empowers them to freely express themselves.

“In 15 years we'll be teaching programming just like reading and writing... and wondering why we didn't do it sooner." Mark Zuckerberg, CEO & Founder of Facebook

Mission

We are a non-profit organization. Our goal is to provide every individual with special needs the support, friendship and inclusion that they deserve.

The term Special Needs is a short form of Special Education Needs and is a way to refer to students with disabilities. The term Special Needs in the education setting comes into play whenever a child's education program is officially altered from what would normally be provided.

More narrowly, it is a legal term applying in foster care in the United States, derived from the language in the Adoption and Safe Families Act. It is a diagnosis used to classify children as needing "more" services than those children without special needs who are in foster care.

In the United States, special needs is a term used in clinical diagnostic and functional development to describe individuals who require assistance for disabilities that may be medical, or psychological. For instance, the Diagnostic Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.
