Beginning to Scratch the Surface: Computer Programming for Elementary Students

Editor's Notes

  1. This past September England became the first country in the world to make computer programming compulsory at all levels. From the moment they start school at age five to when they complete their first public exams at 16, children will be learning coding, from understanding simple algorithms to using programming languages to solve computational problems. Why?
  2. According to programming advocate Code.org only one in 10 U.S. schools teach children to code, despite forecasts that computer-related employment will rise by 22 per cent by 2020, with the strongest demand for software developers.
