Coding as a literacy has become one of the basic fundamentals of learning like reading, writing and arithmetic. It is an important skill for children to learn because it engages computational thinking, which helps them to become proficient in critical thinking, and supports problem-solving across all disciplines. Coding fosters creativity and enhances problem solving skills, allowing students to become critical thinkers through collaboration and effective communication. In order for the U.S. to rise up as a global leader in STEM literacy and innovation, we believe it is important that all children learn these skills at a very young age.
