Writing codes. Preparing for the Future

Is this something we can do here in Malaysia




“I think everybody in this country should learn how to program a computer
because it teaches you how to think.” 
— STEVE JOBS

Every student in every school should have the opportunity to learn to code




Mark Zuckerberg
Founder, Facebook
Our policy at Facebook is literally to hire as many talented engineers as we can find. There just aren't enough people who are trained and have these skills today.


Bill Gates
Chairman, Microsoft
Learning to write programs stretches your mind, and helps you think better, creates a way of thinking about things that I think is helpful in all domains.


Meg Whitman
President & CEO, Hewlett-Packard
If you have a daughter, she should go be an engineer.


Dr. Lee Hood
Inventor, modern DNA sequencing. Recipient, National Medal of Science
To deal with the "deluge of big data" requires the pioneering of new analytical tools, both computational and mathematical. Computer scientists have become essential as part of cross-disciplinary teams of researchers who tackle some of the most challenging issues in science today. 


Stephen Hawking
Theoretical physicist, cosmologist, and author
Whether you want to uncover the secrets of the universe, or you just want to pursue a career in the 21st century, basic computer programming is an essential skill to learn.

Yishan Wong
CEO, Reddit
One hundred years ago, people were faced with the choice of learning to read or remaining illiterate laborers who would be left behind as have-nots in a rapidly modernizing world. In the coming century, being able to command a world that will be thoroughly computerized will set apart those who can live successfully in the future from those who will be utterly left behind.


Elena Silenok
Founder, Clothia
Creating things with your hands, or creating code, creating programs, are just different ways to express creativity.
