I’m old enough to remember the late 90s when lots of “teach kids to kode” efforts were spun up and then torn down a few years later when the dottcom crash hit.

I’m old enough to remember the late 90s when lots of “teach kids to kode” efforts were spun up and then torn down a few years later when the dottcom crash hit. The general public thought technology was going the way of textiles and all the gumption to teach coding evaporated overnight. My high school went from having 3 jam-packed programming classes to a single AP class that barely had enrollment.
