Of course we need a massive federal program to learn coding. It’s not like any kid with access to the internet couldn’t just go online with the thousands of free online courses themselves. And if anyone opposes the billions.. You’re racist and hate children.
Lots of free coding on the web to learn with. Heck even Visual Net Studio went to the free internet edition a few years back and that used to cost something like $900 for the license. Learn Javascript, CSS, and HTML and you’ll have 90% of what you need for an entry level web designer job. That’s why some kids can learn web designing on their own by the time they are 12. If you want a CS degree to design motherboards, it’ll take a much bigger skill set.
