Do you have any idea what it is? B: Code is the language used to instruct computers. Facebook, mobile apps, and browsers are all made with code! And there are a range of different programming languages you can use - HTML, for example, is the computer code used to create web pages. A: I see. That’s why primary children have been taught Information and Communications Technology, or ICT, at school for a long time. B: And you know, under the new curriculum, there’s a much greater emphasis on learning about computers and teaching children how to use code. In some specialised schools, children as young as six get practical experience of designing and writing computer programs so that they understand the basic principles of computer science. A: Interesting. But I guess not everything will change; kids will still be learning stuff like using emails, right? It’s just that now they’ll also be taught how things like the Internet actually work.
