Why Coding is Important

Today, technology is there in every part of our life. Coding jobs are the future. They already constitute more than 60% of all science, technology, engineering, and math jobs. But, unfortunately, schools and traditional education systems are not equipped to provide the right coding education.

With the huge development of technologies, human civilization has entered the new era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution from the Third Industrial Revolution. The Fourth Industrial Revolution is marked by emerging technology breakthroughs in robotics, artificial intelligence, nanotechnology, quantum computing, biotechnology, The Internet of Things (IoT), 3D printing, and autonomous vehicles.

Facing such a future, “85 % of jobs in 2030 haven’t been invented yet,” as estimated by Dell and the Institute for the Future (IFTF) in the report “Realizing 2030”. And McKinsey, the leading global management consulting firm, predicted that robots could replace 800 million jobs by 2030. Coding itself could help human beings cooperate with the robots, control, or understand the much more digital world. Computer language also could be a necessity for jobs in the future.

Coding is a 21st-century skill that kids need to learn today, but unfortunately, there is still not much awareness about it.







Every company will be a software company in the future. And there has never been a time when the impact of software is so visible everywhere around us. Our daily lives have already been disrupted and arguably made better. However, there is still a long way to go. As of 2019, 56% of the world population had internet access. This was a growth of over 1000% since the start of the 21st century. By 2025, 80% of the world population (6.5 B) will have internet access. The distribution of software will reach such a massive scale that we may not even comprehend today. Someone sitting in India right now could be building an app in their high school, and that app would be used by millions of users all over the world. It was futuristic a decade ago but sounds extremely real today.
 
Now is a great time to be entering the coding world because technology will change more in the next 10 years than it has in the last 50.
- Bill Gates

Everyone should know how to program a computer, because it teaches you how to think.
- Steve Jobs 

Coding is today's langauage of creativity. All our children deserve a chance to become creators instead consumers of computer science.
- Maria Klowe



Children must be taught how to think not what to think. 
- Margaret Mead

Margaret Mead was an American cultural anthropologist who featured frequently as an author and speaker in the mass media during the 1960s and the 1970s. She earned her bachelor's degree at Barnard College of Columbia University and her M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from Columbia.
