Why kids still need to learn to code in the age of AI
This report put forward evidence that even in a world where AI can generate code, we will need skilled human programmers who can think critically, solve problems, and make ethical decisions. It puts the case forward that young people need to learn to code because it is the most effective way for them to develop the mental models and fluency to become skilled human programmers.
