Stop sending your children to coding classes. Don’t let the Ed-Tech unicorn’s injection of FOMO cloud your reality. As a parent, your fear and concern is marketed and you should know that. Instead, help your children achieve computational thinking. It’s not expensive – when you get into a lift, just ask them where the lift would go if multiple people presses button on multiple levels. Now, that’s a start which can be extrapolated to a lift’s mechanism as a state machine. It will not come from learning code. The coding landscape will change overnight. But computational way of problem solving will NOT. From Apollo to James Webb, its foundations are solid. The point is acquiring knowledge that can be migrated when the world changes. Not something that goes irrelevant when a coding language goes out of widespread use.
