During the snow, state of emergency was declared so school was closed. I talked with my friends; we talked more about Christmas gifts and what we all wanted. Everyone wants something the digital World is offering from phones, video games, toys some wanted game subscription. We talked about all the cool features our gifts could have.
I shared our experience when we visited Limited Run a gaming company I told them the many lines of code behind the games we play. Peter asked really? coding? Are you sure? We talked about Lua, C++, and Python. It was an eye-opener. We kids need to know that all the smart things around us became smart because of programming. The games, the toys, the devices that talk to us are all doing so because of programming. Some have lines of code, some have artificial intelligence.
Giving a gift may be a time to share a word about TECH with a kid to get us thinking, to place coding/programming in front of a kid, it may be a time to spark curiosity.Â
