Canada is Determined to Teach Kids to Code

From a young age, most children these days are surrounded by all types of technology, from computers and apps to smartphones and tablets. We are living in a digital world, so why not make it a point that children not only use these gadgets, but also learn how they work.

Coding goes far beyond just understanding the software, it creates a range of opportunities for young children.

The current Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development, Navdeep Singh Bains says that teaching code to young children will not only help them to work together and solve problems, but it will also mould them into the next great innovators that the world needs.

So, the Canadian government has decided that it is time to create the next big innovators and entrepreneurs. An amount of 50 Million Dollars is being put towards an innovative new enterprise called CanCode.

The money is being provided to all non-profit organizations that have at least a few years’ experience in fields such as summer code camps, etc.

It is expected that over the next year or two, millions of children in Canada will learn vital digital skills! Keep in mind that this initiative isn’t just for older kids, but also for children that are younger in age.
