Why Screen Time Can Be Builder Time

Written by Sarah Mwongeli, Head of Curriculum

Every parent worries about screens. At DaVinxi Cabin we ask a different question: what is the child actually doing on the screen?

A camper scripting their own platformer in Scratch is using the same hour very differently from a child passively scrolling. The first hour builds logic, patience, and pride of authorship.

Our Parent Intelligence Center exists precisely so you do not have to take our word for it โ€” you can see the focus score, the projects shipped, and the streaks kept, week over week.

This is absolutely spot on! Teaching kids how to create rather than just consume completely changes their relationship with technology.

I loved reading this! Can we have a coding competition inside the cabin soon?
