Speech-Why coding should be an official school subject

Speech

Today, I am going to persuade you that coding should be an official school subject. Video games help your noggin build more grey matter, and increases your IQ. Well, coding does too, coding comes in different languages like JavaScript scripting, JavaScript, C/C++, Python, Ruby and countless more. Coding is a beneficial way to see new perspectives and get better at maths. Coding also increases your IQ by 16 percent, and best of all, anyone can do it. You only need a computer and your brain. It also helps develop better memories! Generally, coding prepares you for the future, because, when you learn how to code, you can teach people, passing down the skill to future generations, and that generation passes down their expertise and so on. Also, coding covers most school subjects like Maths, Writing, Reading, Health, Digital Citizens. All these curriculums can be covered all by one thing: Coding. The New Zealand curriculums include most of the subjects that coding beneficially has on. Coding also improves eye coordination, because, when you file through massive amounts of coding languages, trying to find one code, you have to think and remember and find. Coding also gives new perspectives to problems as well as mental and physical tactics. Why? Since, coding has many difficulties like bugs, lags, plus many more mixups, you are always learning new strategies. We surveyed 24 pupils about if they wanted coding to be an official subject and the results were: 87 percent said that they liked coding 34.8 percent said they were good at coding and 87 percent said they wanted coding to be an official curriculum. So that proves my point, coding should be a school subject. Evidence shows that coding develops better memories as you need to learn the languages. Finally, coding is also likely to teach children to be digital citizens as coding involves digital devices. Most importantly, coding develops confidence since making a website or going on a coding website and sharing something helps boost confidence and also anyone, yes anyone can do it! You only need a device and you. 'Any fool can write code that a computer can understand. Good programmers write code that humans can understand.' is a quote by Martin Fowler, which links to how coding can help you explain things more clearly, as I said there are lots of errors in coding, you also have to take trials, so it's making you a problem solver, not a problem maker! In conclusion, I think that coding is just as relevant as other subjects, because of these reasons: helps qualifies us for the future, gives new views to problems, and guides kids to better digital futures and reduces cyberbullying, hacking and all fields that relate to cybersecurity, all these will eventually happen.
