Why Parents Love Skill Struck

Now that we’re living in the era of tech, most kids these days are exposed to many forms of technology at an early age. In fact, it’s surprising how quickly some two year olds can navigate to their favorite games on their parents’ phone.

It goes without saying that kids love technology. And, sometimes it can be scary how much they love it.

Whether we like it or not, kids want and need access to technology, or computers, for school and entertainment. So, why not try to make their screen time as productive as possible?

This is one reasons why Skill Struck was born: to help parents turn their kids’ screen time into skill time.

If that isn’t reason enough to explain why parents love Skill Struck, here are four more:

1) Kids and teens actually like it

Believe it or not, coding can be fun. Especially for kids. Think about how much your kid loves games on the phone, or on the computer. With Skill Struck’s Live Tutoring and Voyage , kids actually learn how to make these types of games.

And, every Skill Struck product was created and designed with kids and teens in mind. That means that every module and challenge is fun and engaging.

2) It's perfect for your busy schedule

The live tutoring sessions are for a half hour, once a week. Or, less if you need. You can schedule your live tutoring sessions whenever it best fits into your schedule. And while your kid is in their tutoring session, you can have some time to yourself.

Our newest product, Voyage, allows your kid to hop on the computer and be guided through different coding challenges and games at any time. Because Voyage is available at anytime, you can work it into your busy schedule.

3) It's an investment for the future

In the tech industry right now there are more computing jobs available in the U.S. than there are people ready to fill those roles. That means there is so much opportunity out there for those who know how to code.

Extracurriculars for kids are important. They help kids and teens develop skills in their young age that will help them be better workers and entrepreneurs. But, more than learning how to be a good team member, learning a skill that can actually help them make money will set them up for the future quickly. By investing in your kids’ coding education now, you’re helping them get a quicker career start in the future.

4) You don't need to know anything about coding to get started

We built our programs knowing that kids and teens, and parents, most likely have minimal, to no, coding experience. This isn’t like your kids’ algebra class. Your kids won’t be asking you for formulas that you learned when you were their age. We provide all the curriculum and support your kid needs to be a successful coder.

It’s important to remember: your kids’ screen time doesn't have to be scary. Start investing in your kids’ future by signing up for Skill Struck today.
