Coding & Futuristic Tech

Technology has made leaps and bounds of progress over the past 100 years. This is easy to see with the prevalence of futuristic technologies in our everyday lives from virtual assistants on our phones like Siri and Alexa to virtual reality accessed through our headsets and smart glasses. Yet even with these jumps in innovation, there is still a big push for even more advanced tech and thus an even bigger demand than ever for young coders and programmers. At The Code Zone, we want to help children with their coding skills to become the innovators of the future!

So what does the future of coding and technology look like?

Many sectors make use of futuristic tech including medicine with the use of robotics and 3D printing, smart cities which focus on energy consumption and connectivity, and of course education where virtual reality is already becoming a key player in learning and training. The thing that all of these sectors have in common is the innovation and creativity of programmers; the desire to use coding as a way to enhance everyday lives!

With the rise of AI, we often hear that there’s a diminishing need for coders - however this could not be further from the truth. Whilst low-level coding tasks may become increasingly automated, there will still always be a demand for human developers to push the boundaries; plus humans are still needed to create, train, and maintain AI systems. As Forbes stated earlier in 2024: "The creative, problem-solving essence of computer programming is likely to remain a largely human endeavour for the foreseeable future."

For example; the robotics in our current health care such as surgical-assistance robots were designed, created and are still maintained by human programmers. It is coders at tech companies like Akara who are working on the next stage of robotic health care with AI powered disinfection robots that reduce environmental contamination. Meanwhile, coding engineers at Ossiform are creating the ability to 3D print synthetic bones!

In the world of city design, Smart Cities are an idea that is only possible thanks to programmers. A Smart City uses digital technology in the running of various different services. Programmers at companies like Eliko and Terranova create algorithms that can collect and distribute information for these cities - as well as build an infrastructure based around technology.

In the world of education, companies such as Pixo and their programmers are already leading the way with enhanced training programs through VR. A study done by PWC in 2020 already shows that 40% of V-learners saw an improvement in their learning compared to classrooms - which demonstrates that VR is already becoming more and more prevalent in training and learning across many industries!

Whether your child wants to build our future with futuristic tech and coding, or they simply want to understand how the technology they will be using in the future works, The Code Zone is here to support them in their journey.

Our Game Dev Club focuses on learning practical, life-long and creative coding skills, not just covering topics and theory. We want to enable children to stay ahead of this ever-evolving world and enhance their use of tech.

We offer free taster sessions where your child can chat with one of our STEM-certified mentors and see for themselves how our clubs work - get in touch today to book your taster session!
