I recently discussed coding with the parent of a young child who was interested in preparing their child with important tech skills.and#160; IMHO it's one of the best things you can expose a child to, as learning the language of coding will prepare them with valuable skills no matter what vocation they choose. Coding is not just for programmers and web developers because it has become such a fundamental skill-set that will prepare anyone to leverage the digital world.and#160; One suggestion for getting your child started is with MIT's 'Scratch' project. The Scratch system shows children ages 8 to 16 how to create programs through interactive stories, games, and animations.and#160; It engaging and will help them learn to reason systematically, think creatively and work with others, which are essential tools for life in today's digital environment.and#160; And it's not just for kids, so everyone should look into this incredible free platform atand#160;https://scratch.mit.edu
