You don't have to be an engineer to program a computer. In fact, programming is like learning another language, which just happens to be easier the younger you are. In many ways, learning a programming language at a young age equips youth with skills that will be very marketable in the future, no matter what profession they decide on later.

It may be intimidating at first, but it's well worth the challenge. Besides, it can be very creative, fun and useful. Read on for suggestions on how to teach a kid to program.
