    Ακολουθούν απόψεις διεθνών προσωπικοτήτων με ευφυία, καταξίωση και πρωτοπορία στον σύγχρονο κόσμο. Ολοι συμφωνούν για το δικαίωμα των μαθητών στην εκμάθηση της Πληροφορικής στο σχολείο τους. Το υλικό είναι από το: code.org. Οι απόψεις είναι στα αγγλικά 1. Για να μην αλλοιωθεί η σημασιολογία τους & 2. Επειδή κάποιοι δεν κατανοούν στα Ελληνικά... την αναγκαιότητα ύπαρξης μαθημάτων Πληροφορικής στο Λύκειο (φυσικά πανελλαδικά εξεταζόμενο για τις αντίστοιχες-σχετικές σχολές) Every student in every school should have the opportunity to learn to code. Stephen Hawking Theoretical Physicist, Cosmologist, and Author “Whether you want to uncover the secrets of the universe, or you just want to pursue a career in the 21st century, basic computer programming is an essential skill to learn.“ “I think everybody in this country should learn how to program a computer because it teaches you how to think.” — Steve Jobs, President Bill Clinton “At a time when people are saying "I want a good job - I got out of college and I couldnt find one," every single year in America there is a standing demand for 120,000 people who are training in computer science.“ Bill Gates Chairman, Microsoft “Learning to write programs stretches your mind, and helps you think better, creates a way of thinking about things that I think is helpful in all domains.“ Mark Zuckerberg Founder, Facebook “Our policy at Facebook is literally to hire as many talented engineers as we can find. There just aren't enough people who are trained and have these skills today.“ Vice President Al Gore “Our civilization is experiencing unprecedented changes across many realms, largely due to the rapid advancement of information technology. The ability to code and understand the power of computing is crucial to success in today's hyper-connected world. Dr. Mehmet Oz Cardiothoracic Surgeon, Author, and TV Personality “To best prepare for life in the 21st century, today's students should ideally learn basic computer programming.“ Mike Bloomberg Mayor, New York City “We salute the coders, designers, and programmers already hard at work at their desks, and we encourage every student who can't decide whether to take that computer science class to give it a try. New York City’s economic future depends on it, and while we're already giving thousands of our students the opportunity to learn how to code, much more can and should be done.“ Larry Corey President, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center “Computers are an increasingly essential part of understanding cancer and developing new therapies. Knowledge of computer programming is almost as important as knowledge of anatomy when it comes to medical research or clinical care. “ Eric Schmidt Executive Chairman, Google “For most people on Earth, the digital revolution hasn't even started yet. Within the next 10 years, all that will change. Let's get the whole world coding!“ ­ Randi Weingarten President, American Federation of Teachers “Computers have and continue to change the world around us, and programmers continue to be essential. But I know first hand from studying FORTRAN that many of us get intimidated by it and we shouldn't be. Computer programming has become far more accessible to teach and learn, and our country needs more students to learn it.“ ­Leland Melvin Astronaut, NASA Education Administrator “Computers play an increasingly larger role in all fields of science; they're helping us explore outer-space and our solar system. Whether you want to become a doctor or an astronaut, it would help to learn the basics of computer programming.“ Dennis Van Roekel President, National Education Association “Learning to code unlocks creativity and builds confidence in students regardless of age, gender, or race. Computer programming can also be a teaching tool for other subjects, from physics to French. With today's technology, learning to code is more fun and more accessible than ever, and America's teachers welcome it into our schools and classrooms.“
