Question

阅读理解。

As kids, we learn how to write, maybe play a musical instrument and draw． So why don't we learn to code (编码) computer programs too? What coding has in common with writing, playing music and creating art is that it lets you bring your ideas to life． Coding is all about creativity and music and creating art Crearbing with code CoderDojo helps young perople around the world to learn computer  programming for free． When I went to my first CoderDojo class in Dublin City University in Ireland, at age nine, I didn't know anything about coding or even what it was． But I remember making my very first web page that first day, and being surprised that I could create such a thing． It was a great feeling that I think every young person should experience!

By going to CoderDojo every week, I learned how to make websites, apps and games． One of my apps is called Auto-Journalist． It can help journalists (记者) and interwewees do interviews even if they are both really busy or live in different time zones． It is still in development, and I have showed it at an event called Coolest Projects Awards, where young people get to show the public what they have created with code． It's so mucbt fun to share one's creations, and to see what everyone else has made too．

Learnuing environment

For the past three years I have also been helping to teach other young people at CoderDojo DCU． In recent years I have also noticed many more girls attending CoderDojo DCU to try out coding． This has a lot to do with the CoderDojo girls' classes — girls and young women take part in it with their friends, and it doesn't feel like coding is a "boy thing"． It is really wonderful to see this, because we need more girls and women in STEM ( Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths)． It's a good way to leam more about technology．

Start early

One of the main things I have leamed in the last few years is that coding is not only for adults, coding is for young people, too． And when you are a child it is a great time to start coding, because your imagination is the limit for what you can create !
