More kids in the United States are learning about computers today. They’re learning the language that makes computers work. The language is called code.
People in business want more young people to learn about computers. Other groups do, too. They’re helping some schools to start computer classes. Students in the classes learn how computers work.
One of the groups that help kids to learn computer science is Code.org. The group wants more students to try computer science. The group holds an event called “Hour of Code”. The event lasts an hour every time. The idea is to teach students to learn code.
Some experts say computer science teaches kids to think clearly. It also helps them be more creative. Computers will be an important part of the students’ lives in the future, so the classes should teach them computer science when they are young.
Not everybody agrees to teach young people computer science. “Kids don’t need to learn about computers so soon,” someone said. Most high schools in the US do not have computer science. Only 1/4 do. It’s really hard to find computer teachers.
