Description: To compete in the current global economy, students need to have a
comprehensive skill set that includes technology. In the recent past, coding has increasingly
become one of the biggest trends to hit the education sector. Nowadays kids are growing up in
a totally different world. Computers, cell phones, Netflix and Facebook are all embedded in
their lives. In fact, even toys are currently digital and many of them have programs. Students of
today must, therefore, consume technology and understand what controls it. When
participants learn how to write codes, they not only develop cognitive skills but also learn the
problem-solving process that is like a computer. This process involves using pattern recognition
to present problems in different ways while logically breaking them down into parts and
creating the steps needed to solve them. Coding teaches the participant to break down hard
problems into different parts. It is one thing to know how to use technology, however,
understanding the science behind the technology offers control.
