①It’s true that high-school coding classes aren’t essential for learning computer science in college. ②Students without experience can catch up after a few introductory courses, said Tom Cortina, the assistant dean at Carnegie Mellon’s School of Computer Science.
①However, Cortina said, early exposure is beneficial. ②When younger kids learn computer science, they learn that it’s not just a confusing, endless string of letters and numbers—but a tool to build apps, or create artwork, or test hypotheses. ③It’s not as hard for them to transform their thought processes as it is for older students. ④Breaking down problems into bite-sized chunks and using code to solve them becomes normal. ⑤Giving more children this training could increase the number of people interested in the field and help fill the jobs gap, Cortina said.
①Students also benefit from learning something about coding before they get to college, where introductory computer-science classes are packed to the brim, which can drive the less-experienced or -determined students away.
①The Flatiron School, where people pay to learn programming, started as one of the many coding bootcamps that’s become popular for adults looking for a career change. ①The high-schoolers get the same curriculum, but “we try to gear lessons toward things they’re interested in,” said Victoria Friedman, an instructor. ③For instance, one of the apps the students are developing suggests movies based on your mood.
①The students in the Flatiron class probably won’t drop out of high school and build the next Facebook. ②Programming languages have a quick turnover, so the “Ruby on Rails” language they learned may not even be relevant by the time they enter the job market. ③But the skills they learn—how to think logically through a problem and organize the results—apply to any coding language, said Deborah Seehorn, an education consultant for the state of North Carolina.
①Indeed, the Flatiron students might not go into IT at all. ②But creating a future army of coders is not the sole purpose of the classes. ③These kids are going to be surrounded by computers—in their pockets, in their offices, in their homes—for the rest of their lives. ④The younger they learn how computers think, how to coax the machine into producing what they want—the earlier they learn that they have the power to do that—the better.
