It's a terrific initiative and maybe a way to reverse the trend of lacking science skills that lots of kids have in many developed countries such as Sweden here I live. Now that I think about it, why not start teaching kids "coding" during their first year of elementary school? Obviously it would be on a very basic level, but it doesn't strike me as any more difficult to learn than how to read and write.
