I work in tech, but I also ran a school for a few years and I didn't teach them to code. There is plenty of good science/theory out there, but I have yet to read any compelling piece that shows coding at an early age helps. Teaching them core foundational skills such as curiosity, creativity, team work and collaboration is far more important in my view - coding can wait till later. Who know what the tech landscape will look like then....
