The big push to teach kids about real computing and coding in schools is getting some massive assistance [3] from Google: The search firm, partnered with six educational bodies, is sending 15,000 Raspberry Pi units into British schools. The credit card-sized [4] programmable computers [5] will even come with free teaching and learning packs.

Raspberry Pi [6]notes it's a "brilliant way" for it to help kids with an aptitude for computing, and it's happening without having to wait for a foot-dragging government to catch up to the cutting edge.

I learned to code at home before school even managed to try teach me. Did you learn coding in school? Do you think today's kids should learn [7] it as soon as possible?
