Coding must take its place among the fundamentals of education globally, along with lit­eracy, numeracy, and the sciences. The purpose of teaching stu­dents to code isn't to turn them into the software developers of tomorrow -- though it's a wonderful avenue for doing so -- but rather to give them a basic life skill of creating with tech­nology, helping them understand its powers and limitations and how it can be used as a solution to the many challenges they will face. Working on coding projects is a fundamental part of giving chil­dren and young people the skills that will set them up for success in their careers and adult lives.
