Then youll feel confident and ready to create anything you can imagine!

Programming is really funbut first you might be wondering, What exactly is programming?
Programming is basically just us humans telling our computers what to do. You are already telling computers what to do all the time. Didnt you tell your computer to open up your saved report so you could print it for school? Well, yesbut theres a whole lot of other directions your computer needed to print that paper.
First, when you clicked on the icon for your report, your computer knew it needed to open up that exact file and display your report.
If you decided to type a few more sentences, your computer needed to know what letter to display for each key that you tapped on.
Even the simple act of moving your mouse across the screen to click on the print button required lots of directions for your computer.
These instructions that you dont see, but your computer is following, are referred to as code . This is why people who are programming are also said to be coding. They create all those instructions that your computer follows. Whenever you interact with an electronic device, it is constantly checking its code, following all the directions that someone has programmed for it. It doesnt have a brain like you or me, so it depends on this code to tell it what to do.
So why should you care about all that code? Its not something you can actually see happening. You just get to kick back and enjoy all the great stuff that its making your computer do.
But havent you ever wished that your computer could do something else or maybe just do the same thing but better ? Like, instead of clicking the arrow keys to make your ninja character move in a game, wouldnt it be cool if the ninja just followed your mouse instead?
If you know how to program , you can decide what instructions you want your computer to follow! You can make it behave any way that you want. You get to be the creator. Its kind of like the difference between a reading a story and writing a story. Sure, reading a story is fun, but how much cooler is it to use your imagination to make up your own story and then share it with your friends?
Learning to code doesnt mean you have to grow up to become a professional programmer, although you can if you want to! Learning to code is valuable for anyone because it teaches you how to take apart a problem and solve it.
Creating your own programs will also help you learn the process of design, which means starting with an idea you have in your head and making it actually happen! Most importantly, programming helps you really understand what goes on inside the technologies that you use all the time.
