Code.org is encouraging students of all ages to start learning code now. By 2020, there will be 1 million more code jobs than students. How can you help?
7. So why is it so
important?
4 Reasons Why Kids (or Anyone)
Should Learn Coding Now!
#1 Steve Jobs said that programming a computer
teaches you how to think. As our business has
grown over the last two and a half years, we’ve had
to learn a lot of coding ourselves. (We’re natural
English writers – not Java writers.) We can tell you
firsthand that learning code has stretched our
minds. Our critical thinking skills are definitely
ramped up after we’ve completed another round of
coding!

#2 There are expected to be 1 million more
coding jobs than students by 2020.
That’s a $500 billion opportunity that
students need to start preparing
for today in order to capitalize.
(Currently, there are only 400,000
computer science students.)

Should Learn Coding Now!
#3 Computer science is the highest paid
college degree. It’s not all about the
money. But, it sure helps.

Coding will make you a more valuable
professional no matter what field you pursue. Our
writers at CEM don’t have to know code to do their
job. Some of them do know code; some don’t.
However, the ones that do know at least the basics of code will
have more success as freelancers. I’ve experienced this firsthand.
When you know the programmers’ language (or anyone’s
language, for that matter), you have some common ground to
stand on for a discussion!
11. If you’re even the least bit interested in online business,
computers, and our shared future, then I’d like to encourage
you to sign up at Code.org.
They’re looking for anyone and everyone that knows code,
wants to learn, or could bring it to the classroom. So, jump
right in!
