{"id":724,"count":33,"description":"Coding Concepts Explained: A Glossary for Kids and Parents<\/strong>\n\nEvery new skill comes with its own vocabulary, and coding is no exception. Words like variable<\/strong>, loop<\/strong>, function<\/strong>, y algoritmo<\/strong> can sound intimidating the first time a child — or a parent helping with homework — runs into them, but each one is a simple, learnable idea once it’s broken down in plain language. This category is CodeMonkey’s growing glossary of coding terms, explained the way we’d explain them to a curious 8-year-old: real examples, no jargon, no assumed background.\n\nTerms covered in this series:<\/strong>\n\n• Variables<\/strong> — how code stores and remembers information\n• Loops & Nested Loops<\/strong> — how code repeats an action without repeating the instructions\n• Funciones<\/strong> — how to package a set of steps to reuse again and again\n• Conditions & Boolean Logic<\/strong> — how code makes decisions (“if this, then that”)\n• Algoritmos<\/strong> — step-by-step instructions for solving a problem\n• Depuraci\u00f3n<\/strong> — finding and fixing what went wrong in the code\n• Triggers & Events<\/strong> — how code responds to something happening\n• Inputs, Outputs & Parameters<\/strong> — how code takes in information and produces a result\n\nEach post tackles one term on its own, so it’s easy to find exactly the concept your child is stuck on — for homework help, an Hour of Code activity, or just their own curiosity. Together, these posts also build toward something bigger: pensamiento computacional<\/strong>, the broader problem-solving skill all of these individual concepts support. For the big picture first, start with our guide to computational thinking<\/a> before working through the terms below.\n\nNew to coding vocabulary yourself? You’re not alone — most parents and many teachers are learning this right alongside their kids.
