coding should be taught in school

One million of the best jobs in america may go unfilled because only 1 in 10 schools teach students how to code. Teachers, parents and fellow students learning to code in school will be a future must. The first thing I would like to talk about is my experiance with coding and what i have learned from it. I first started coding with one of my friends because we thought it would be cool to design and create a video game, and  with hours of research we finally found a program that taught you the basics of coding and how to program a game. After lots of practice we were able to complete several games and mazes using code, and that was one of the coolest things I have ever done in computer science. Learning to code was super cool but aswell very difficult , I learnt a lot of things about code in a short amount of time just imagine what kids could do if it were taught in school.

 

Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Steve Jobs, These are some of the world’s best computer programmers and internet Entreprenuer’s. May 14, 1984 Mark Zuckerberg was born, and began using computers and creating software in middle school, like many other internet programmers Mark Zuckerberg started young and was the world’s second youngest self made billionaire. Zuckerberg began his career in  2004, february 4th when he first launched facebook and it became a success.  february 24th, 1955 Steve Jobs was born. Steve Jobs is one of the world’s most known internet entreprenuer’s, he did not only create the iphone or make the imac but he changed the way technology is today. April 1st 1976 the first Apple computer was released, created by Steve Wozniak and Steve jobs. 23 years later Apple completely changed the world and how we use technology, we are now facetiming with people from across the world and buying things not with money but with our phones, we can now have a conversation with Siri wich is a built in robot that will answer your questions and search the web for you. October 28, 1955, Bill Gates was born and made his first program in 8th grade, which was a computer tictactoe were other oponents would have to play the computer. Bill Gates started microsoft in 1975, April 4th and is now one of the biggest computer company’s out there.These three men have all changed the world and the way technology works, and if there is one thing they all have in common its that they all started young and never lost their creativity.

Code might be the most important language of the future. So why are we not teaching code in our schools? over half of the world is now using technology and knowing how to code might be the most important skill to have. The world Is now made up of technology, everywere you look there is a computer or something that involved code wether you want to be a doctor or an artist these things have all been totally changed by computers and technology. Kids all around the world are playing games on phones but soon they will be creating them.  I think that everyone should have the oppurtunity to learn code. I hope to continue on with coding and programing and hopefully create an app and put it on the app store. Thank you for listening.
