Have you ever thought about learning to code? If So Do It With Grasshopper, On Your Mobile.

Grasshopper

Have you ever thought about learning to code?

Google's Grasshopper project aim to  teach adults (non adults could learn too) to learn to code through fun puzzles and quizzes, from anywhere and any time one wants to.  So far over 1.6 million people have downloaded Grasshopper which is available for both iOS and Android. As the user base increased so were the user feedback, Grasshopper is one of the many projects built within Area 120, Google’s workshop for experimental projects.

As per google blog post;

Anyone can learn to code
You might want to learn to code, but don't know where to start or worry it might be too difficult. Over the last nine months, Grasshopper has helped stay-at-home moms, mid-career changers and international entrepreneurs kick-start new careers and get an edge before pursuing advanced coding courses. In fact, over 100,000 people around the world have graduated from our Fundamentals course, which covers the basics of introductory computer science.

We’ve also run a number of academic studies on the effectiveness of Grasshopper, and found two insights: after two weeks of use, students are more motivated to learn to code. And while women tend to start off their Grasshopper journey feeling a bit more unsure about learning to code, we see that confidence gap between men and women decrease by 18%.

There are no mistakes in learning to code
What causes some people to succeed at learning to code, while others struggle? The answer we found was surprising: the best Grasshopper students make the most attempts to solve puzzles, getting more things “wrong” in the process.

 As you’re thinking about those resolutions for the new year, consider adding learning to code to your list. Grasshopper is available in English on iOS and Android.
