WHY CODE?

“Whether you want to uncover the secrets of the universe, or you just want to pursue a career in the 21st century, basic computer programming is an essential skill to learn.”

—Stephen Hawking, Theoretical Physicist, Cosmologist, Author

Coding is an important skill that you will need in the 21st century.

With the rise in automation and artificial intelligence, you need coding skills to be involved in this new technological revolution.

“Learning to write programs stretches your mind, and helps you think better, creates a way of thinking about things that I think is helpful in all domains.”

—Bill Gates, Co-Chairman, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Co-Founder, Microsoft

Let's explore the benefits of coding:

1. coding improves creativity

When you code, you get to delve into your imagination.

Coding encourages you to get your creative juices flowing, allowing you to innovate and create anything you can ever imagine.

2. coding improves communication

Coding is essentially a language. When you code, you get all the benefits of learning a new language. You learn how to organize your thoughts so that you can communicate with computers clearly.

3. coding encourages problem solving

As you work with code, you will realize that there is no single

solution to the problem at hand. Coding encourages you to think

out of the box to find different solutions.

4. coding develops perseverance

More often than not, you will encounter issues with your code

(they're called bugs). Every coder has to deal with bugs, so don't

worry, you're not alone! You will have to be patient and persistent

to resolve these bugs.

Last but definitely not least,

5. coding is fun!

If you think that coding is a boring activity for geeks, think again. Coding opens the door to new possibilities, challenging you to explore beyond what you know. Through code, you will better understand the world around you. The satisfaction you get when you finally solve something is amazing. But of course, you can only understand once you try it out for yourself!
