Let's teach kids to code

Most of us think that only smart children can learn the coding, but Michael Bloomberg provided a tool on website called Scratch for them to learn the coding effectively through making games, Mother's day cards, etc. He stated that coding would enable them to develop not only skills of thinking creatively, reasoning systematically, working collaboratively, but also the way to express their ideas and feelings in their lives. Currently, young people are very comfortable and familiar browsing and chatting and texting and gaming. However, they have not developed the way of creativity or expression with new technologies. From my experience, I loved playing games when I was a kid. While playing, I made up cool ideas and visions of game. However, I had no idea how to express my ideas and visions with new technologies. I wish the website, Scratch was released in those days, so that I could have learned the way to express my idea. As developing new technologies always, it's best opportunity for children learn the coding. Why don't you show the website, Scratch to your children? http://www.ted.com/talks/mitch_resnick_let_s_teach_kids_to_code.html
