Computer coding: Harder for children or adults to learn?
From 1 September 2014, children as young as five will have to learn how to write computer code - the instructions that make up computer programs.
Pupils aged five to seven will be expected to "understand what algorithms are" and to "create and debug simple programs".
By the age of 11, pupils will have to "design, use and evaluate computational abstractions that model the state and behaviour of real-world problems and physical systems".
Confused? Drive's Anna Foster certainly was when 14-year-old Jonathan Kingsley tried to teach her the basics.
