Coding ~ The Language of Tomorrow: Microsoft's WeSpeakCode Campaign

Computer Literacy and Skills have become increasing important!

Coding particularly has been identified as an item of special interest amongst our young. And this is understandable as coding is slowly becoming the language of the future! There is no denying that it is an important tool in our children's future careers, regardless of specialization.

 

Microsoft YouthSpark in partnership with Code.org, Microsoft Asia Pacific's #WeSpeakCode campaign aims to promote coding as a language for everyone.  The movement connects aspiring student coders of all skill levels with the tools, resources, and experience they need to turn their innovative ideas into reality.

 

 

I was very delighted to have been invited to attend Microsoft  #WeSpeakCode Philippines' campaign and my kiddos were equally excited. 

It was truly a fun learning experience for my boys, who are both so much into computers (yup, and gaming ~ Minecraft included)!

 

 

 

The children were given hands-on tutorials on basic coding, by young volunteers who were so eager to teach and inspire.

 
Who knew, writing computer codes and creating your own program  can be so simple and fun?
