"Coding is becoming as fundamental as the three Rs(writing,reading and numeracy), and is an important 21st century literacy skill. Children who learn to code at a young age through Scratchjr learn to engage in problem -solving and develop skills that are important building blocks for future academic growth. "We see coding as new way for people to organize, express and share their ideas, "said Mitchell Resnick, LEGO Papert of Learning Research and Director of the Scratch Team at the MIT Media Lab. Coding is not just a set of technical skills, but new type of literacy and personal expression, valuable for everyone ,much like learning to write. "
