Why Girls Should Code – MiKenzie


Everyone should give code a try, why? Here are some reasons.

1. Coding is FUN!!!!!!!

Coding is fun because if you are a creative person like me, you will enjoy getting a chance to share your creative juices with the world. Being able to code is kinda like having a blog but better. You can do more than JUST post about your day, you can MAKE games, any apps, websites, and small pages like this one. I’m so happy that I started coding, its a whole new world where you can put your best, craziest, and funnest ideas!

2. Coding is VERY SIMPLE!!!!!!

Coding is as simple as 1, 2, 3! I am 11 1/2 years old and coding is so simple for me after learning only a hour a week for a few months. If I can do it, so can you… The entire key to coding is very simple- a tag -. A tag is any abrieviated word inside < >.
For example the very heading of this paragraph is made with a tag. The < h2 > tag. (H2 stands for heading 2 ). Now this is different from an actual tag because it has a space between the symbols and the letters.

This is an actual tag, easy right?

To end any tag just put another tag after you’ve typed the information that you want to show. This tag has a slash in front of the letters like this……….. < /h2 > . Now you’ve learned a new tag.

3. Coding is an AMAZING SKILL

Coding can take you very very very very very very (ok, I think you get the point) far, no matter what you enjoy doing or where you work coding can help. From making a website for the business you work with to making apps that could be famous after a little bit of time. Coding also has a great salary, and all you have to do is put in a little bit of time to learn maybe once a week.

In Conclusion

Coding is a great activity when you’re bored, a great skill, and even a future job. Always give it a try, no matter who you are, or how old or young you are, it never hurts to try, and who knows, maybe you will enjoy it just as much as I do.
