New Computer Coding Program Boasts No Courses or Professors
Earlier this year, the president included in his fiscal 2017 budget proposal a 4 billion request to make computer science a new "basic skill." The Education Department is prioritizing coding programs through a new experiment that allows students to tap federal financial aid to help pay for them. The private sector is prioritizing the issue as well, pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into increased access to computers, computer science and broadband internet. Even toy manufacturers are getting in on it, dreaming up toys aimed at teaching children as young as 3 to think like a computer coder.
