I'm trying to get some of my younger cousins to learn about technology and software development. I showed a project on VS code, and they called me a hacker 😆 lol. I blame the US education system for not offering coding classes. What areas would be good to start? I'm thinking full stack web development because they see websites often, and they can easily understand them using databases and servers. #tech
If they don’t want to learn it, they don’t want to learn it. That’s okay.
Yeah, I understand. I have to push them because no one else will. Don't want them to fry their brains being on tik tok all day.
Quit trying to colonize your cousins.
coding is not suitable for everyone, generation is irrelevant. are all milennials software engineers? what does it have to do with productivity?
You can’t force people to do something like that.
I never mentioned force 😆 🤣. I want them to learn and get involved. They show interest in games and how they are made. Maybe you could've suggested an after-school tech program or something 🤔 .
Hey OP I’ve got a great idea, what about an after-school tech program or something?
f that. let me then find a career that’s less soul sucking and trash. trade school is better now anyways
That’s nice of you. As a parent of young teens it’s a struggle to get them to like and learn anything productive. Right now one is very interested in baking and other is video games. They’ll figure it out eventually, but boy the lack of motivation is a struggle.
Definely, they are into cooking and baking things, too, lol. Thanks for the kind comment.
They're on Roblox, right? Have them go through the game tutorials, they're not bad. WYSIWYG game composer with LUA based scripting, it's pretty beginner friendly and outputs something you can easily invite your friends to check out
This is really good advice, thanks. I actually don't play it or don't know much about it. I will do more research on this. Thanks 😊
As I mentioned earlier, that title is meant to draw you in. No, ever said anyone is equivalent to GenZ. I'm simply asking for learning advice. Maybe I should post this in the parenting section, lol 😆 😂. Maybe they could make an mp3 player using web development?
Just ban smart phones.

Front-end development
Yeah, I was thinking this as well. They show interest in games, so maybe a JS tic tac toe game would be cool. Thanks
