Code With Kids and See What Happens – written with Karly Moura!<\/h3>\n

Just a few weeks ago Adam was talking with some Principals and one commented –<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n<\/b> \u201cI\u2019m surprised people are still talking about coding. Do you think it\u2019s here to stay? Most of the kids at my school won\u2019t be programmers or work for a tech company.\u201d

Why teach coding with kids?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s really everywhere!<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/b><\/div>\n
Supermodels – President Obama – Kindergarten students and even NBA stars. Coding has been around for years and within the last few has become much more mainstream with awareness about the possibilities for jobs and creating cool things really at the forefront of the conversation.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/b><\/div>\n
We both talk with lots of teachers on a daily basis from all over the country and the amount of coding going on is actually really low. Many teachers participated in #hourofcode or have done some type of \u2018extra\u2019 coding lesson and it kind of ends there. We believe coding is the new foreign language and kids need as much exposure as possible.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Kevin Honey<\/a> (Middle School Principal) has a coding class for all 6th graders at his school, way to go beyond just #hourofcode – how about #yearofcode!<\/div>\n

A.1 we have a coding class in our 6th grade rotation and all students participate in the #hourofcode<\/a> #mdusdchat<\/a><\/div>\n
