Apple CEO Tim Cook: Kids Need To Learn How To Code From Early Age

In today’s world, coding has become as important as learning any language to survive while traveling. IQ level of younger generation is increasing along with the new times coming up and so the learning capability of the children. The younger one starts learning, the better they get with time. And, maybe that’s why we see many records being broken at a very young age, although we might not pay attention to it.
Tim Cook, the current CEO of Apple, presented this concern while visiting a Manhattan Apple store for an “Hour of Code” class to third-grade students.

In an interview followed by his visit to the Apple store, he also stressed much on compulsory computer-science education which schools do not pay enough attention these days. However, he has great hopes towards and thinks that coding will ultimately become a required class for all kids.

“From an economic standpoint the job segment itself today is huge, but it’s going to become even larger.

 

According to Cook, if the computer science concepts are introduced at a tender age, in a fun way, it’s more likely that kids will start finding these concepts cool enough to carry them forward as they grow older. Hence, they will stay interested into computer-science and that, on the other hand, will produce larger and more diverse tech workforce down the line.
