This is a day to celebrate all things technology-based, computer-oriented, and cutting-edge. Kids can get in on this day too with these fun coding activities for kids. These coding activities are mostly all offline, teaching kids the thinking and logic behind programming and coding, without crowding them around a screen all day.
