Programmers might need to 'read' code in programming languages, but it's not the language-processing part of the brain where blood flow increases during the activity. Instead, a group of MIT ...

Whether studying coding launches a career in technology or boosts confidence in reading, there are lifelong benefits to getting kids into coding early. Ideally, since coding and reading reinforce one ...

Research in neuroscience confirms what parents and teachers should do to help children crack the reading code. Find out what showing kids how to sound out words does for their brain. Steve Peha and I ...

Not many 5-year-olds spend their Saturday afternoons performing dentistry on a great white shark. But when Moleno Colon saw the sea beast’s gaping jaws, he couldn’t help but dive in, excitedly ...

We talk about artificial intelligence and intelligent machines as if killer robots loom just around the corner. But if we all learned the basics of AI programming, would we be less scared of it? AI ...
