Why are we learning how to code? Well, think about all the things around us that require coding to work - computers, cell phones, video games, etc. Even the things on our computers and cellphones like apps are all coded. Computer coding is the language of technology, so learning how to code will help us not only understand how to use technology better, making our lives easier, it will also help us make better technology in the future! Even if you just want to get better at playing video games, learning about coding will probably help you play video games better.
