(CNN) - Only 1% of kids leaving schools in developed countries understand coding, "and yet that is where a lot of the jobs are," said Frank Meehan, CEO of Kuato. "And kids understand that, they want to learn."

That point got more traction this week, as Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg appear with a host of other internet stars talking about the importance of code education.

Kuato CEO explains how it teaches children the basics of coding.

    Who are the "kids"? If this means they're trying to implement coding classes into High School and/or Middle School, then that's a great idea! If I had realized how crucial it was going to be to have some type of knowledge about coding I would have done it. I didn't, so I went with my idea of what I wanted from college and missed that opportunity.
