Tech titans back coding at school

MICROSOFT Chairman Bill Gates, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Twitter creator Jack Dorsey are among the tech luminaries appearing in a new video promoting the teaching and learning of computer coding in schools.

Titled "What most schools don't teach," the video released online this week begins with Zuckerberg, Gates and other tech icons recalling how they got their start in coding. For some, that was in sixth grade.

Running less than six minutes, the video promotes Code.org, a nonprofit foundation created last year to help grow computer programming education.
