Hey there, young explorers! As kids, we're always looking for ways to conquer new challenges and succeed in life, right? Well, in today's high-tech world, learning to code is like unlocking a superpower! But why is coding such a big deal? And do you have to be a math or science expert to dive into it? Let's hear from ten amazing leaders about why coding rocks!
According to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, "Every child in America should have the opportunity to learn computer science. It teaches you how to think, and how to solve problems."
Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft, agrees. He says, “To be successful in the 21st century, kids need to learn how to code. Coding is the new literacy. It’s the way you understand how to talk to the world around you.”
Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple, believed that “computer science is a liberal art, it’s something that everyone should learn how to use, at least a little bit, just like you learn how to read and write.”
Coding helps us understand and shape the world around us. As Reshma Saujani, founder of Girls Who Code, puts it, “Coding is the way we shape the world.”
Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, once remarked, "Coding is an incredibly useful skill, even if you never use it professionally." His admiration for coding extends to his children, whom he humorously noted code better at age 12 than many adults.
“Whether we’re fighting climate change or going to space, everything is moved forward by computers, and we don’t have enough people who can code. Teaching young people to code early on can help build skills and confidence and energise the classroom with learning-by-doing opportunities."
- Richard Branson, Founder, Virgin Group
"Even if kids don't eventually pursue a career as a coder, learning how to think like one helps hone logical thinking and problem-solving skills."
-Nathan Blecharczyk, CTO and Co-Founder, Airbnb
"I actually believe that coding is like the new literacy and it’s going to be as important to code in the future as it is to be able to read and write today. Even if you don’t decide to do development as a career, the ability to think like an engineer and understand code is hugely valuable, including for managing other developers. Pretty much anything you’re going to do in a modern information society, if it’s connected to a computer, knowing how that computer works and being able to modify it is just invaluable."
- Matt Mullenweg, Creator of WordPress
