Why should we teach coding in Elementary school?
- The ability to code computer programs is an important part of literacy in today’s society and is necessary for our developing technology-based world
- Learning coding puts students in control of the computer, and builds understanding in sequencing skills, counting, problem-solving, logical thinking, cause and effect, and critical thinking
- Students can express themselves through code and create games, apps, websites etc.
- The earlier students are introduced to coding, the more comfortable they will be with computers and technology in the future
