Typing Club
Tel:
1 (345) 943 5437Join KidsAbility for their School Break Typing Club. The purpose of this club is to provide a kickstart to your child’s touch typing development. Their therapists will get your child started with learning touch typing by emphasising proper posture, hand position, accuracy and speed with typing.
What Is Touch Typing? In contrast with normal typing, touch typing is simply pressing the keys without looking at them. If you can keep your eyes on the screen without looking down, you can touch type. This method is more efficient, less tiring and comes with some surprising cognitive benefits, as we’ll see below.
Touch typing has a noticeable effect on the brain, psychologists say.
“The single most important thing is if you can type without looking down… If you can do that, what’s happening in your brain changes,” says Sue Westwood, a child psychologist who runs a touch typing programme called English Type. “Muscle memory is a physical skill—so once its trained, it becomes unconscious and automatic. It frees up your conscious cognitive resources to focus solely on the task in hand.”
If we can train our fingers to type without our brains having to think about it, we become more efficient at the task at hand. “We also know that by the time you get to 30 words per minute it’s a fluid process,” says Westwood. “The fingers are moving with no buffering going on. And from that point you get faster naturally.” (Saga Briggs, https://www.opencolleges.edu.au/informed/21st-century-skills/touch-typing-kids-essential-21st-century-skill/)
Each student will need to bring a laptop and KidsAbility will provide access to a typing subscription to be used throughout the school term. Parents will receive a progress report at the end of the week.

"Teen-preneurship" Camp
The Cayman Islands Centre for Business Development (CICBD) will host its first Youth Entrepreneurship Bootcamp, which is intended to equip the youth ages 12-15 years with a practical experience of how to start and grow a business and how to become an entrepreneur.
Objective: The programme is intended to provide the youth with information on knowing how to become an entrepreneur. They will gain practical experience using their ideas on the steps to starting a business. Based on the business idea they they put forward and the information gained, the decision will become easy whether their idea is a hobby or it can be transitioned into a business. Each idea will be shared with the group and they will be able to learn from each other. If the youth is serious about business they will now be aware of the various services being offered at the CICBD and how to access them.
Programme Benefits:
- Increased knowledge of where to find information to become a micro or small business entrepreneur.
- Gain practical experience on starting a business.
- Decide whether an idea is a hobby or whether it can develop into a business.
- Share ideas with likeminded teens
