Neuroscientists from MIT have found that reading computer code does not activate the areas in the brain used to process language. Instead, they found that it activates general-purpose neural networks ...

Whether studying coding launches a career in technology or boosts confidence in reading, there are lifelong benefits to getting kids into coding early. Ideally, since coding and reading reinforce one ...

We talk about artificial intelligence and intelligent machines as if killer robots loom just around the corner. But if we all learned the basics of AI programming, would we be less scared of it? AI ...

Programmers might need to 'read' code in programming languages, but it's not the language-processing part of the brain where blood flow increases during the activity. Instead, a group of MIT ...

A sophomore at North Crowley High School, Williams needed an elective and there was room in a Computer Science I class. He signed up and now he’s a student of writing code, embracing a language and ...
