“Coding is not about training students how to type into a computer.  That’s the least of it.  Coding is actually really about training students to think in a certain way.  It’s about training students to take a large and complex problems and break them up into small pieces. It’s about teaching students to take things that are vague, that are difficult to wrap your mind around, and putting them into concrete sequential steps.  And that sort of thinking, that sort of mental skill, is applicable no matter what you do in life.”
