Coding

Coding is the new literacy and a ‘must have’ for every student. It is the programming language you use to tell a computer what you want it to do. Just as our students learn languages like Mandarin or Japanese, all students need to learn the language of programming.

If you can speak the language of code you can create the solutions needed for the 21st century. With coding skills, students can learn to apply technologies to solve global issues and improve lives, for example by developing new software and communication technologies or using robotics.

Coding counts! Watch the video below to find out what this means in Queensland Government schools, and how it can help your future career.
