Our Prime Minister, Lee Hsien Loong, knows how to do it.

And according to Facebook Founder Mark Zuckerberg, PM Lee is one of the few world leaders who knows how to do this.

What is it that our Prime Minister can do that other world leaders can’t?

Coding.

The future of our world is digital. Learning how to programme not only sharpens their logical thinking, it also enhances problem-solving skills and builds creativity.

“When you learn to code, you start thinking about processes in the world,” says Mitchell Resnick, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor heading up the effort to build the child-friendly programming language Scratch. Scratch has 6.2 million registered users and is accessible to children as young as five.
