Introduction: What Is Coding and Why Is It Good for Your Kids?

Computer programming, or coding , is a crucial skill every child should be learning. We use computers to solve problems, play games, help us work more effectively, perform repetitive tasks, store and recall information, create something new, and connect with our friends and the world. Understanding how to code puts all this power at our fingertips.

Everyone can learn to code; its just like solving a puzzle or a riddle. You apply logic, try a solution, experiment a little more, and then solve the problem. The time to start learning to code is now ! We are at an unprecedented time in history: never before could billions of people connect with one another every day like we do now with computers. We live in a world of many new possibilities, from electric cars and robot caregivers to drones that deliver packages and even pizza.

If your children start learning to code today, they can help define this fast-changing world.

Why Should Kids Learn to Code?

There are many great reasons to learn computer programming, but here are my top two:

  • Coding is fun.

  • Coding is a valuable job skill.

Coding Is Fun

Technology is becoming a part of everyday life. Every company, charitable organization, and cause can benefit from technology. There are apps to help you buy, give, join, play, volunteer, connect, sharejust about anything you can imagine.

Have your children wanted to build their own level for their favorite video game? Coders do that! What about create their own phone app? They can bring that idea to life by programming it on a computer! Every program, game, system, or app theyve ever seen was coded using the same programming building blocks theyll learn in this book. When kids program, they take an active role in technologytheyre not just
