This persuasive talk shows how essential and easy it is to gain a basic understanding of computer science learning principles. Our world increasingly driven by technology and software, so we all need to know the creative, problem-solving power of computer science. This is especially important to students who will lead the way in our shared future. Learn how you can take the next step at code.org .

    About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

    Are you sure? Every tech company around here just outsources the tech jobs to India or brings in workers via visa. I see the CS market getting vary saturated, especially with ppl like this going around and telling everyone to get into CS.

    A person who defends that we should have more ChatGPT and less Latin in schools makes me think that human intelligence and development is irrelevant... This is mentioned on an Italian newspaper, La Repubblica. It's the only thing I know about this person. I find this comment insulting for anyone who tries to develop himself through the study of ancient languages, and insulting to cultures that are historically linked to Latin. On this issue, I can only see stupidity and lack of respect...

      Esattamente: io francamente, il suo discorso lo trovo inquietante.
