Software Programmer: Building Blocks and Computer Science

software programmer: Founded four years ago by Seattle-based Hadi Partovi, the Hour of Code aims to ensure that every student in the developed world has an opportunity to, at the very least, learn the basic building blocks of computer coding, according to Guelph Mercury. Kids at this age, in eighth grade, ninth grade, should be exposed to the basics of computer science, says Partovi. Trudeau joined the co-founders of Canada Learning Code and Code.org to mark the launch of Computer Science Education Week at an event called Hour of Code. But it doesnt mean that every student needs to be a software programmer, Trudeau told several dozen students gathered around small tables at e-commerce firm Shopify downtown Ottawa headquarters. While nearly all youth in Canada are tech consumers, they arent given enough opportunities to actually build the technology they use, said Melissa Sariffodeen, who heads Ladies Learning Code. Every job were going to do in the future will rely on technology and be benefited if you are powerful users of the technology that surrounds us, Trudeau said. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
