Why teach your kids to code? Computer programming, or coding, is a crucial skill every child should be learning. From 3D printers, to mobile apps, to robots, to drones that deliver pizza, the world around us relies on code more than ever before. Coders get to solve problems and do interesting, fulfilling work, and the time to start learning to code is now! Whether you want to build an app, a game, or a self-driving car, the power of coding is right at your fingertips. All the programming tools in Teach Your Kids to Code are free to download, and all the source code for every chapter is free to download from the No Starch Press web site. I began introducing my two sons to programming when they were two and four, and I encouraged them to have fun by changing small parts of each program, like the colors, shapes, sizes and locations of objects on the screen. You can learn to program alongside your student, and take time to try new things as you go. Learning to code is the pathway to an inspiring pastime and better career opportunities.
