A while a go I saw this article that told that strongest correlation with economic success now is with reading skills within that nation in 1900. (sorry I lost the article)
What is the reading of today? I think it's coding and here's why: A young person is good at school in two things, math and biology. She thinks that a career of mathematician would be little boring, so she chooses to become a biologist. She doesn't ever think about becoming an engineer because she never had to do anything that would have indicated that shes good at it.
Now how about a school where people have to learn to code just a little. Suddenly the people who are naturally talented at it start to do it. Not just the people who think it's cool because their elder brother codes. People have a strong tendency to do things they are good at. But only if they know they are good at it.
