Learning Japanese or German as your third language in school? Why not learn Coding instead?

It is not uncommon for students in Singapore to learn a third language in school if they are able to master both their mother tongue and English. But with technology rapidly infiltrating every corner of our world, learning to code in C, C# or Java may soon become a possible “third language” to learn.

Programming can unveil a whole new world of possibilities as students will be able to create applications to solve almost any problems around them. There are numerous free resources online to learn programming. You can try CodeAcademy to start your first lesson in coding right now.
