What is coding about and what can coding do? If you have ever thought about learning how to code or learning computer programming then start here with this great intro to coding for kids song & video! Even though coding is about telling a computer what to do, it is also about SO MUCH MORE! Watch the video to find out what computer coding is really about!
Lyrics
It’s kind of about telling a computer what to do
With specific instructions made just by you
But it’s really about so many other things
So please listen up now to the words that I sing
It’s about solving problems, and finding a way
To make our lives better while we work and we play
It’s about breaking things down, then building them up
And working through challenges, and not giving up
It’s about asking questions, not just words on a screen
It’s inventing new things, things the world has never seen!
It’s about imagination, and creating new dreams
That can change your life, and help you grow wings!
It’s about, perhaps most of all
It’s about people, like me and you, the big and the small!
Because you see, because you see
The game that you’re playing, someone made that!
The way that you’re paying, someone made that!
Those points you’re scoring, someone made that!
That guy over there snoring, ah well that’s not really coding, actually, but anyway, those other things are, the computer game, and the payment system, and the points and stuff, well they didn’t just appear, it’s not magic, but truthfully
Someone made those! Yes, real human beings!
Actually not just one person, it was probably a team
A team of people just like me and you, and you!
They learned how to code and you can too!
They learned how to code and you can too!
They learned how to code and you can too!
They learned how to code and you can too!
Yes they learned how to code and you can too!
