On 1 November 2018 The Associated Press reported: Amazon wants to get more kids thinking about becoming computer engineers. The company launched a program Thursday (1 November) that aims to teach more than 10 million students a year how to code. Amazon said it will pay for summer camps, teacher training, and other initiatives to benefit kids and young adults from low-income families who might not have learned to code otherwise. It hopes the programs spur more black, Hispanic, and female students to study computer science. Global Good News service views this news as a sign of rising positivity in the fields of science and business, documenting the growth of life-supporting, evolutionary trends.
