Programming fosters creativity, reasoning, and problem-solving. The programmer gets the opportunity to create something from nothing, use logic to turn programming constructs into a form that a computer can run, and, when things don’t work quite as well as expected, use problem solving to figure out what has gone wrong. Programming is fun, sometimes challenging (and occasionally frustrating) activity, and the skills learned from it can be useful both in school and at work.
Even if your career has nothing to do with computers. And, if nothing else, programming is a great way to spend an afternoon when the weather outside is dreary.
