Teaching a 6 Year old girl Web Design or Programming - GoFuckYourself.com

clickity click · 03-20-2016, 03:16 PM

I would like to teach my 6 year old daughter how to make her own website (wordpress) she already has her own domain.
Alternatively programming.

She already has her own domain which I would like her to build on. I was thinking a video blog type site.
I want her to understand the background process (the way the internet works, domain names, servers, HTML) as well as other things such as safety.

Where should I start. Literally it's a bit like trying to teach an alien. All she knows is how to open a browser, use Google and play videos.

Anyone taught their kids?

The local libraries often run free programming courses for kids

Maybe start by teaching how to make basic videos for youtube, with pics of characters or videos of favorite games, then go from there

Instead of teaching her, see if you can't get her to teach herself.

When I was a kid (TRS-80 days), I gobbled up everything I could about computers, programming, etc. Everything I saw was something I wanted to learn.

Instead of trying to teach her, see if you can't instead plant a seed of interest in her. She might learn a lot faster at her own pace anyway.

Good luck!

I like the idea, what could I use as "the seed"?

That's what happened with my 10yo, can teach herself now

How did you get to that stage?

Rochard · 03-20-2016, 05:29 PM

I started teaching my kid at age six. We started with buying a domain name, installing wordpress, picking a template, tweaking it, posting to it... Then moved onto HTML.

Started with games like Animal Jam, then she went to YouTube to find out stuff about the games, eventually wanted to make her own videos
