Questions have been raised about the necessity and benefits of children learning how to use technology in an in-depth way. Technology has been viewed as a distraction from other activities such as sports and music. Many studies have also talked about negative effects technology can have early in life, which has lead to a negative perception about too much time spent on the computer. However, there have also been studies that show the benefits of gaming. It can lead to better problem solving skills, more empathy, better reflexes, and decisiveness. Games can also engage students and motivate them in more traditional subjects. Technology is able to reach across different learning styles, which can help the students consolidate information. 

As the world is moving in a more digital direction, it is important that young people have appropriate access to technology so that they know how to use it effectively and are able to benefit from it. Students learn to code by creating their own games, which stimulates their creativity and interests in the process. Coding will give children skills that will serve them in different areas of their lives, and give them a head start in this technology driven.
