Youth learn to code
PRINCE GEORGE — Texting, video games, and apps on your cell all have one thing in common. They wouldn’t be possible without computer coding. This weekend over 13.5 million kids around the world learned the basics of coding.
One participant was Grade 4 Hart Highland Elementary student Garnet Ditto. For Garnet, learning to code has always been on his list of things to do.
“My dad has always had computers. I’ve basically grown up with them, they’re my favourite thing in the world. I love computers. And I decided I want to learn more about computers and learn how to use them.”
Along with a gym full of boys and girls, Garnet learned the basis of computer coding.
