Outfits like code.org and Black Girls Code help, and so do some employers: Google’s Made with Code aims to bring women into the field, while payments company Square offers high school code camps. Intel just last week pledged $5 million for computer science programs at two high schools in Oakland, California.
Farid Mheir's insight:
How can students learn to code when their teacher are often clueless about it and software professionals - in high demand - make much much more as developers of games and 0.99$ ipad apps...? Lately resources are starting to appear - see some in the article. Why is this important? IMHO learning to code is important because it teaches about structure and procedures and thinking through every possible scenario. It is a way of life, more than a technical skill. No?

Kano Computing, a startup that plays in the learn to code space by adding a step-by-step hand-holding layer atop the Raspberry Pi single-board..
Farid Mheir's insight:
Kano was a 1.5M$ kickstarter project that now ships its first 18000 computers. It feels like the modern day version of electronic kits for kids such as the 130-in-1 which I played when I was young and that got my daughter interested in technology when she was young. Kano feels like this amazing kit to help kids learn about programming, in what many believe to be an essential skill for the future.
