　　Learning to program

　　What do you do with your phone and computer, just play with them？ Well now, the new trend(新潮) is to learn how to program(编程) them.

　　From Dec 7 to 13, more than 100 million students across 180 countries took part in computer coding (编程) activities during the Computer Science Education Week. The non-profit(非营利的) group Code.org created this week to give students a chance to learn how to code in a fun way.

　　Coding is not as difficult as people usually think, according to Code.org CEO Hadi Partovi. All programming starts out simple, he said, and there are even programming games for kids.

　　On Dec 10, US President Barack Obama signed a law. The law says that the government should see computer science as a subject that’s just as important as others like math and history. That means schools may get money from the federal government(联邦政府) to develop computer courses. According to Obama, coding is “the tool and technology that will change the way we do just about everything”.

　　Professor Chen Yue from Zhejiang University agrees on the importance of coding. “Learning how to code doesn’t mean everyone will become a programmer,” said Chen. “But in the future, computer technology will be around every corner in people’s lives and workplaces. Knowing how computers work will make it much easier.” For example, a sociology scholar(社会学学者) also needs a computer program to help predict things like population trends, Chen said.

　　Chen also noted that in China, few middle schools have real coding courses right now. According to her, people think it will put extra pressure on students when they already have so many subjects to learn.

　　The good thing is that there are more and more coding courses offered online or in person by different organizations. Chen also has an online coding course.
