My son was never interested in computer programming in high school, took a college diploma in game development where he enjoyed the art side of it thoroughly but was not that keen on the coding.
Now that he has graduated and is working as an artist for Ubisoft, he spends his evenings teaching himself C++ of his own accord and is really lapping it up.
My daughter is in third year honours chemistry and has absolutely no interest in coding. Perhaps an introduction in grade school might have made a difference here, I don’t know.
