Can we teach children good values, like sustainability, through coding? In an increasingly digital world, coding has emerged as a critical skill for the future. It’s often touted not just as a technical tool but as a means to teach children broader life skills, such as problem-solving, creativity, and collaboration. Some educators and researchers even argue that coding can be used to instill good values like sustainability, empathy, or social responsibility. While the idea is promising and has its merits, there are significant challenges that suggest coding may not be the ideal medium for instilling such values.
