@ProjectTuring Definitely. The lesson from years of schooling should not be "you are not allowed to fail". Failing is a part of life, and adulthood is handling life gracefully.
I hope you've been able to explore some of the computer science Shimon Schocken has produced. Good luck on your endless journey of becoming greater and greater!
@@malx1289 i'm a tech entreprenuer, so i've used this course to better understand the full stack of abstractions, no i haven't built his computer. I am looking forward to the updated version coming out this June.
This guy is a genius! So inspiring this is. I am currently doing his Nand2Tetris course and I feel I am being transformed. Highly recommend it to anyone who wants to know how a computer works(especially non computer science students)
Hey bro how are you man am a javascript programmer currently doing C++ jumped back to C++ for some pure concepts but it was not enough I want to learn how a compiler is design and how all the things languages under the hood work so I just came across his course today I am excepting that I will learn to design a compiler and understand all the theories behind programming whats your take on his course should I switch from C++ to his course and then back to C++ do you believe I will get something very satisfying kindly reply me am completely broken
@@sabirnawaz1304 You can complete the Nand to Tetris course in any programming language, the OS, assembler, compiler etc can be written in any language you wish
Mid way through his class, with a full-time job it's hard keeping up but I'm loving it, the more I do it the more I want to keep doing it and I just wish I had more time for it. Great work indeed.
Can't describe my excitement. I was so excited the way the professor show how as a teacher we can let students learn themselves and in far better way instead of learning formula by heart. And you mentioned "Grading sucks!". How true it is! Thank a million Sir.
Great. I am fascinated by computers since I was a baby and become a mathematical and a programmer. Always wanted to understand how a computer worked and dreamed about building one, one day. Then I found their GREAT, GREAT course and I'm "attending" it. I'd like to thank people like them, which make humanity better :)
self-education is something ive done ever since i was a kid.. taught myself coding + design, then guitar and various instruments.. most of the time, i dont feel as much passion for anything unless im excited about it, usually b/c i like it or have some goal with it.. point is i think goals work best when they are personal, like mine were/are, and what schocken says here. and that drove me to learn for me, not grades. learning is exciting, not work, and this idea needs to come back into schools
Couldn't have been said more beautifully - "grading takes away all the fun from failing". I have been thinking about this idea for a long time and couldn't agree more with Mr. Schocken's view on grading. Students became so much concentrated on grades that subsequent stress is overflowing which in a result leads to loosing big/important picture of education.
I know more about psychology than most people with a degree in psychology and even quite a few psychologists and professors. I've been self studying for 20 years. A hobbyist works harder, and for longer. Informal education beats a formal education.
Almost done with it... its Amazing! connecting the dots of multiple topic in CS & CE such as programming, computer architecture, operating systems, Hardware & software..
I love the simplicity. It makes me realize that while I am good at my job, I do not always know how I arrived to point C by starting at point A. Due to techology, point B is pretty much removed from existance. How much of a expert am I really? I have to understand what makes up point B...
Worth watching for every entrepreneur, who wants to build something of an impact. And for every computer science student or self-learner to know what is the first principle of computer science and understand them by doing the nand2tetris course.
I rate this talk at 95 out of 100 points, making it 95%, giving it 4 and a half stars, and a B+ (A being the best) with a special never gonna give, never gonna give, give you up... never gonna give, never gonna give, give you up... We've known each other, for so long...
I really love to see all the TED talk ideas about the reform of education to get more traction. it pains me to see the limitations of the current education system. It has a huge disconnect with the current generation. and is obsolete since internet makes information abundant.
I dont know a computer language like java works,but this course helped me understand this...even though i read multiple times online..taking this course helped me,i am still to finish this .Thank you 🙏
Self-study is a term for the Action of teaching oneself. Autodidact is a term for the Person who teaches himself. Autodidacticism is a synonym for self-study.
It's about the effectiveness and importance of education motivated by the curiosity to develop an understanding of things from first principles. This is presented as an alternative to the shallow education patterns engendered by a grades-focused education approach. So I disagree - this is one of the best TED talks I've seen.
that doesn't mean i support violence, i love peace, and i support peace.. but at the same time, i can't blame a father who lost a whole family at the same time..
brilliant . . . Even after finishing of schooling i still wana try those basic apps. Coz what he was said was true .. some people are just true learners they dont waorry abt age/grade. . . for them learning is it !
The UK is using a great system with similar principles now called Education City, my daughter really enjoys using it and it hammers home key numeracy, reading and writing skills.
I really feel that learning something is not that difficult, and the current structure of classes/lectures are not the right ways to do them. Learning should be done in the person's own time, hopefully driven by themselves, and the lectures should be reserved for advanced applications of the learned knowledge. From personal experience, I can learn many many times faster watching Khan Academy than by listening in lecture.
It's ironic that the motivation for him to build NAND2TETRIS course is because university took the fun away from learning computer science with all the gradings and not allow students to fail, but my university is using this course and charged international students so much money and also set a high hurdle in which half of the students failed.
If only we would progress in education a quarter as fast as in technology! I do not see much progress at all. In germany the Professor walks in, talks and writes to the chalkboard, walks out again, that much I can get out of any book. The classes are composed to be homogeneous: the same number of every ethnicity and the same past grade average, not by learning style and interest/speed
not trashing! i really enjoyed the video, and i think it is very inspiring regardless where is the speaker from, he did add something to my knowledge, and i do respect him for that.. but the part where he said, his parents where busy building a country made me say something.. and please no need to use filthy language..
At my university they did not even manage to build a simple µC from a crude specification that they had written from an existing commercial architecture to FPGA stage. The specification was already poor and the project management ***

Many teachers around the world are looking for better environments to teach students in. They are not to blame for anything, it's our collective understanding about education that's taking a shift now. It's beautiful
I like his philosophy of education, but I disagree a little. You have the freedom to make as many mistakes as you want, just not on tests. And if we don't require you have gone through this learning process by a deadline, how do we get people to graduate on time?
That's what I was thinking too. Outside of those tests, one still has plenty of time to explore and make mistakes. Although it is true that we have started putting way too much emphasis on those tests, pressuring the kids to spend most of their time worrying about grades.
People like Shimon Schocken restore my faith in humanity. He seems to love learning so much that he must share it with the world. Thank you Shimon.
"Grading takes the fun out of failing."
Like help take

Hey Fellow Burmese
Not just CS/CE but this theory should be applied to all learning environments. It truly works, i have experienced it myself..
This is by far one of the best talks of TED.
Glad to watch this gem of a video. Shimon Schocken is one of those revolutionary professors who can make a society upgrade to a new level.
Great. I am fascinated by computers since I was a baby and become a mathematical and a programmer. Always wanted to understand how a computer worked and dreamed about building one, one day. Then I found their GREAT, GREAT course and I'm "attending" it. I'd like to thank people like them, which make humanity better :)

"Grading is degrading". Upgrading in my opinion is appreciating progress not perfection.
Yes, appreciate for efforts.

I'm self-taking this course in high school as a 12th grader..... loving it!
@Sable How's life now tho
Almost done with Nand2tetris! Couldn't be more great full!
Thank God there are people like him on this planet!
I am starting my journey with this course now and am so excited (in my finale year of graduation and may be its too late i think) 🤞🤞

Interesting! One question though- where did the kids get the hardware for the Nand to Tetris project?
+Vinay Seth You use a hardware simulator among other tools that you download, so no actual hardware.
