Yes, even if they&#x27;re not going to become programmers, coding teaches people two important skills that I see lacking:<p>- The ability to break up large, seemingly daunting problems into smaller manageable chunks.<p>- The ability to shift perspectives from the 50,000 foot view, down to the individual line of code view, and then back up to the 50,000 foot view, and then back down again!<p>Variances in individuals abilities can be accounted for - jack might only be mentally capable of going to the line of code level, but I can see Mary is getting bored, so she can look at the interpreter source code - they should be encouraged to seek answers themselves.<p>I have a close friend who is the head master of a school here in the UK, and he is really keen to get kids coding, but there&#x27;s no source materials for the teachers to learn, I think there&#x27;s opportunity there for anyone who wants to pick it up :)
