However, people who write computer code say that creativity is also an important quality for coding.Software developers in the American state of California have created a game called Osmo Coding Jam. The game is designed to help children use the creative side of their minds as they learn to code. Children can play the game on iPads. There are many activities they can do by the game.Tanya Dodge is the mother of two children, nine-year-old Dylan and his 11-year-old sister Meghan, who play the game. According to her, these activities give them important skills for the future. “Its an analytical skill that the kids are going to need to have as they grow up today” said Dodge.But the developers of Osmo Coding Jam believe writing code should be more than just an analytical skill. “We want to explore the creative side of coding that I think is often not as explored,” said Felix Hu, an Osmo engineer. Hu added, “The coolest part is that were teaching kids how to be creative with code and thats a really important thing that kids should get comfortable with because coding is creative.”Hu also sees a growing number of parents who feel that software code is a second language that children need to learn to succeed in future jobs. Tanya Dodge, the mother of Dylan and Meghan, consents. She said, “I think youre going to have to understand at some point the idea of coding will work well in the future.”Hu also explained that very often kids grow up not understanding how a computer works or just thinking that its like a magical machine. He said by breaking it down to a lower level, kids can understand that the computer isnt as smart as they think it is.1、Osmo Coding Jam is designed for _.Atraining kids logical thinkingBhelping kids learn to code fastChelping children learn math wellDhelping kids become more creative2、What does Tanya Dodge think of Osmo Coding Jam?AIt nee
