I wrote this conversation:

Jane: Children nowadays need to learn coding.
Peter: Wow. Is it difficult? Would you like to learn it?
Jane: I don’t know but I’m happy to get a taste of it.
Peter: Would you go deep into coding?
Jane: No, I don’t like programming or computer science.

Is it okay to say “Would you go deep into coding”? Jane doesn’t want to study coding in depth.
 
Not really, no.
 
What are trying to say? Do you mean that Peter is asking Jane whether she would consider enrolling on a course or something like that?

Yes, but not necessarily considering enrolling on a course. Maybe she buys a book or self teaching to reach an intermediate level.
 
So say that then.

I don't understand the point of this question. What made you write this conversation? Are you trying to ask something general about the metaphorical use of the word 'deep'? Or specifically about the use of the verb 'go' with 'deep'? Be clearer, please.

You start talking about children, but then it's the adults who are in focus!
Peter: Wow. Is it difficult? Would you like to learn it?
Jane: I don’t know but I’m happy to get a taste of try it.
Peter: Would you go deep into learn coding in depth?

Jane: No, I don’t like programming or computer science.
That seems to contradict Jane's answer above.

Since children knows how to do coding, adults may need to catch up with them.

She doesn’t like programming but she’s willing to get a taste of it.

It’s because someone asked me about coding and I want to ask her about the question. I don’t know if “go deep” is correct phrase.
 
Since children KNOW how to do coding, adults may need to catch up with them.
My reaction to that is to wonder how young they are when they start learning coding.
 
When I was that age we didn't know what coding was. We didn't even know what computers were.
