- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 ก.พ. 2016
- Computer code is the next universal language, and its syntax will be limited only by the imaginations of the next generation of programmers. Linda Liukas is helping to educate problem-solving kids, encouraging them to see computers not as mechanical, boring and complicated but as colorful, expressive machines meant to be tinkered with. In this talk, she invites us to imagine a world where the Ada Lovelaces of tomorrow grow up to be optimistic and brave about technology and use it to create a new world that is wonderful, whimsical and a tiny bit weird.

She loves what she does. That's what I thought throughout the entire talk. She's lucky to have found a way to do what she loves for a living. And her students are lucky to have found a teacher who teaches with such passion. The perfect classroom!
What an engaging talk she gave...
If someone needs to explain passion - well, here is how.
Wanted to be a storyteller. Well achieved, Linda!
absolutely. what a lovely person, I think any educator could learn something from her
Aww, thank you! Much love. -Linda
It's too bad her audience was completely silent! Like, wtf??? There were at least some really amusing parts, like *"iS tHe iNtErNeT a pLaCe???"*
A great talk. I really cant understand why coding is not tought as a basic skill in most schools... It is one of the most important things for people these days to understand and grasp.
My school has it as an elective
Schools are just starting to include it in regular curriculums
*+Pilbaran00b* I disagree, it's a specialized skill and not everyone can become proficient at it, nor do they need to. In fact, one could argue that the current abundance of unqualified coders hurts the quality of software.
Because schools are backwaters of the world, isolated from it, and thought to be preparing the next generation for the world when all it is is just memorization of facts which won't help the vast majority of people, even if they remember them.
+Adrian And yet Chemistry, biology, Trigonometry, Astronomy, and so on are all taught in basic schools. Not electronics, not even computer use until around 10th grade...which is beyond insidiously stupid. And programming courses are reserved for college except the most basic of stuff which could be better taught by....wait for it...computers! Online tutorials! A complete waste of time.
Schools really need to teach students how to find information, rather than how to memorize it.
+Pilbaran00b
well you gotta understand that the schools that do have the courses end up only having about 3 students taking them... its just not worth it, financially - and the reason for this is WATCH THE VIDEO
I loved her talk! She is so cute and energetic. She should have more TED talks :D
+Jennifer Ng meh
There is one more: www.ted.com/talks/linda_liukas_crawling_into_a_computer and I'm also working on a full series on this TH-cam channel, launching in September :) - Linda
@@HelloRubyWorld how happy you are talking. Like Ruby. :)
Her *"Dancing"* examples for different kinds of loops was super impressive. That's gonna be one awesome kids' book.
her smile makes me happy. when she's smiling , I'm smiling,too.
"Encourage creators vs. consumers" - Wow this is a powerful quote
_"Create something out of nothing with the pure power of logic."_ 🤎 This talk made me realize I had been into programming long before I knew it.
Right now I can't tell you how much I'm in love with Linda's energy, ethusiasm, intelligence, her voice, her constant smiling and her will to do good in such a smart and beautiful way.
"little girls don't know that they are not supposed to like computers" I liked the video for that quote alone
Probably the best TED talk I have ever seen.
I could tell she'd be all smile and full of energy just by looking at the thumbnail! At some points, I was really worried she'd be too excited and have difficulty in breathing. However, she easily showed her passion towards coding and inspired other people too. A good talk!
Glad to see such a fantastic presenter. Really passionate and admirable!
The poses and the voices feel so enthusiastic.
god she is so sweet i cant watch this whole thing or ill get diabetes
Moominvalley, Tatooine, Narnia. You sold me! I want to learn programming!!
The pure power of logic - you had me at code
computers are only as complicated as you want them to be! (so never let them intimidate you!) Just swim in the shallow end of the pool and don't be intimidated by what you see in the deep end, because you only have to go there if and when you want. Likewise with programming... yes it can get very complicated at the deep end, but writing simple text adventure games or drawing images in languages like Basic and Logo and so on is very simple - I encourage kids to start programming as soon as they can, but it's important to help ensure they don't get overwhelmed
This talk makes me so excited I'm in compsci. I had started to loathe going to class because it had become so boring.
FINNISH PRIDE FOR THIS INTELLIGENT AND BEAUTIFUL PETAL
This is excellent start for children under the age of 8. We need the next step in education after Hello Ruby for ages 9-16. We need to teach proper coding to our children and not just some high level wysiwyg editors.
We need more education tools like Hello Ruby. This is an excellent start for anyone under the age of 8 or so. But what about after that? I know about Minecraft Edu and Project Spark but those are both gaming applications. Are there any other good education programs for children between the ages 9 and 16? Project Spark and Minecraft Edu are not exactly teaching our children the lower levels of coding.
We need a followup teaching curriculum that teaches the concepts of multi-threaded programming, networking and frameworks. Minecraft Edu and Project Spark are creating more game developers and by the looks of Steam Greenlight we certainly don't need any more of those. We need more programmers behind the scenes to create new technologies and most importantly to create good well optimized multi-threaded applications. (Those applications should also be optimized for networking.)
Smartphones are good indicator of our situation. Manufacturers just keep pushing more processing power, batteries and RAM into our iPhones and Androids but you will be hard pressed to get more than 2 days of use. Why? Because we have app developers like Facebook that just gobble up resources without any regard of the device. And why developers find it hard to care about the device? Because it's really really hard and therefore expensive. The whole process of software development needs reworking and one part of that are skilled coders who WANT to create good code.
Aw this makes me look forward to starting a coding unit in a week. I always loved the idea of creating basically anything on a computer through coding but I was put off by students who said everyone hates the coding unit.
This restored my faith eheh
At the beginning I had a hard time listening to her duo to her voice, but as the video went on she grew on me, and I gained a lot of respect to her. Good speech!
Very interesting talk. And also, congrats for being able to turn a subject that can be hard at times into a bunch of cute characters and stories that are easily understandable, not only by kids, but by anyone.
I loved the "build your own computer" part.
i wish all my teachers had her voice. love listening to it, can't imagine me falling asleep.
What a wonderful way to discuss the future of the world.
She's so cute! Her enthusiasm and smile make me really happy. I guess happiness is contagious. You can really tell she's passionate about coding. I wish her well!
The children’s ideas brought me to tears. I want that to be real!
I can't tell if she's nervous or really excited.
+Zaziuma (Patrick Jensen) probably both at the same time
I'm so nervicited!
+Zaziuma (Patrick Jensen) GHOSTRICK SPECTERRRRRRRRRr
BlackMetalliDethCult
This one's got eyes folks.
+Zaziuma (Patrick Jensen) neither, shes finnish.
Her voice is very awesome. I wish i could talk as well as her
She seems very passionate about it
A teacher who doesn't rely on rote memorization of facts that could be looked up in seconds, and instead actually tries to engage the students? What is this heresy?
I wish her well.
I wish her. Period.
+Pierre Fouquet
Amen
nuff said
Thank you. That was such emotinal speech...
There's a Programming class available in my college that fulfills the Analytical Thought requirement. I'm definitely going to sign up for it!
This is great - love her energy and, more importantly, the power she's bringing to young lives and the future she's building for us all.
Superb. I teach computers to kids to and found this inspiring.
Linda has given me a new perspective on coding. I've always been a networking guy and used to look at coding as rather monotonous. That's changed now.
Great talk. I wish I was taught coding when I was at school. I'm currently teaching myself, doing bits here and there. Coding and programming is the backbone for many jobs nowadays in such an age where our lives revolve around tech.
joy definitely is the most beautiful accessory you can wear.
OMG! She's so poetic.
I wish I was half as expressive as her.
"Create something out of nothing with the pure power of logic". Wow... that's exactly how I feel about software development. What a great talk.
Omg... her smile brought me here and the speech keeps me. What a beautiful woman!
Loved the way you put forth your ideas ... smiling all the way!!
My biggest dream in life is to become a CS teacher for children. I'm working towards my degree right now, and this beautiful presentation was just the inspiration I needed right now. I may be tearing up a bit over the cute girl's "Eureka!" moment with the bicycle light...
fantastic love it.
the way you put everything together..great.
A brilliant video. And when they're ready to take the next step in learning, they can begin to tinker with the things they already have. That's how I learnt before I could make my own. I'd find a favourite game of mine and see what I could modify within it, at the same time, learning how it worked (or didn't).
Wow, this was awesome. I started programming last semester.
Awesome speech Linda.. Thank you for your researched information about the kids and their relation with the computer. Very impressive.
Thanks to TED Talk for sharing the video..
great way of speaking!! she’s awesome
Dear thank you for changing the world ! You are the most beautiful code girl in this world!!
Always found computers fascinating, even more than the games, apps and interfaces on them. A lot more than my peers anyway, that's why I'm building computer games at home while all the other kids are playing them. I had basic knowledge of making games in scratch and kodu in previous years but nothing is as much of a challenge as using the software professionals use. It's a shame the only thing I get to do in school now is basic computer science theories, (apparently my peers don't know about pixels?? I thought it was common knowledge tbh.) binary and python, which is still very cool but not exactly what I want to do in the future. Anyway, this is a wonderful talk.
what a speech...so smooth....cannot imagine me speaking like that....wonderfull mam
At first glance, I thought she was Haley Williams.
That girl makes me feel happy
I love how happy she is
her smiley eyes are so pretty
I like her voice...
No standing ovation? That was one of the most enthusiastic, exciting and simple talks about coding, for future generations, I have ever heard.
Enthusiastic, but a non-issue...
+TheAnnoyingGunner Non-issue? Educating children on the basic language of creativity for the near future? Code will be as mandatory as Science, Math and Language.
The country providing the best resources for young programmers will excel economically by having a skilled work force of people, in control of how their country develops. Developing countries like China are already well on top of creating a population with Super Powers.

I already wrote this somewhere here in the comments, but I guess that the competence of your average joe for rather complex tasks on a computer won't rise (it's already worrysome) but fall with the rising popularity of tablets. And I'd prefer to taught children more basic knowledge about the kind of nature, society and of course the internet. Time in school is limited.
I think we're definitely agreeing here. Rare in the comments section, haha.
STEM subjects do need an overhaul of engagement, rather than labeling them as critical and just throwing the topic at kids.
When I see a TED talk that is tackling something like making programming engaging, with a genuine solution that is already prepared, people will stand and say "You're already on top of it? Great job."
This video had a problem solved and an enthusiastic speaker, but it seemed to fall flat on the audience is what I noticed.
This is a wonderful speech very amzing to my mind and easy to make someone understand programming , thank you so much for this presentation, you have really refueled my perception , am a passionate newbies of computer coding and programming
Linda is so cute, she must be very caring. Her talk is passionate
this talk was full of so much passion that it actually made me go to my computet practice some coding. beautiful presentation
Absolutely fantastic talk. Can't wait to read the book to my 11 month old!
very very very interesing!!!!!!!!!
Bertrand Russel and his philosophy ❤️
Real Interesting Topic. this is what exactly needed in today's life. Congratulations to TED
Beautifully put. Hope in my country it will developed.
Real real engaging and educative presentation. well done
This is a great talk. The book is Hello ruby is a good read as well.
im in love now
i am crazy at code and programming i really wanna become a coder or programmer , i feel that when i learn , i can change my world
I like her ideas and her big smile 😀
This video has a focus on getting girls into CS. It's true, we need more women in CS, but we also need more men in CS. The number of CS jobs being offered is skyrocketing and there's simply not enough people to fill those positions. Beyond that, the principle that the average person should know more about CS is a solid one. All of technology was created with some sort of inherent logic.
Great thing about this lady's crush was that Al Gore was at the talk.
she looks so nice
Not completing my C++ course and properly learning how to code is one of my greatest regrets.
Never too late
so lovely and wonderful! I got inspired
The #1 word in the comments is passion.
I am falling in love with her.....how cute she is......
Amazing presentation. So much energy and I completely agree. People need to embrace the technology. Kids need to learn programming in schools because whether they like it or not, it is the future. And also there is something about programming that is special. Not many things can give you the satisfaction of creating something that is actually useful, fun or just pretty. I'm not saying it is for everyone and everyone will enjoy it. But I do believe a lot more people would find a passion if they tried it.
Strangely enough I love programming and filmmaking. Two things that may seem very different. But maybe they’re not. :)
I don't know... Programming is special knowledge. You usually don't need it except you do exactly that. Time in school is limited and children already get pumped up with information about the basic knowledge about nature, social awareness and the basics for IT. There is nothing wrong with being a consumer.
+TheAnnoyingGunner I think that it will become more and more important with time. And in bit saying they should be employable programmers as they come out of kindergarten but at least teach them the way machine works or some basic algorithm.
I still don't see the merit. There are so many people out there who grew up with computers and basic courses in school, using those devices from day to day, yet they struggle to understand even the most basic features this platform offers. And I don't think this will become any better with kids growing up on tablets, which defy any use other than consumption. I am afraid that the competence to use a less... simpleminded... device will rather sink than rise. Yah, I'm a notorious naysayer.
Added to our favourites playlist :)
but also Kenyan schoolgirls and...., this touched me and I'll try empower my daughters
كلام جميل ومنطقي👏🏻👏🏻
So I met a human that always smiles
Very great talk!
مذهل .... يجب على الاطفال تعلم البرمجة مثل تعلم الرياضيات و العلوم
Amazing speech!
Linda Liukas = Linda Slippery xD
Not to take away from her talk, but from a distance, she looks like Lindsey Stirling.
A youtuber and yes, lmao
+Andy Sebastian Linda/Lindsey, close names, we have a conspiracy on our hands!
+Andy Sebastian To me, Beth Riesgraf
+Andy Sebastian You did take away from the talk. Stirling is a facetious, arrogant manipulator. This woman is genuinely enthusiastic about helping people, not just making money off of people.
Faux Mustache
Wooow, that's some wild accusations you got there, care to back your statements up with some proof?
Oh my god, Love her!!!
10:53 ❤️
I like her talk
Wow
You're amazing
wow! just amazing!
2 nice talks today wow
She is cute and very excited
That is what's called - inspiration. :-)
If you really want to get kids into coding and computers, show the Scratch- it works!
As a Computer Science student, I have to disagree with the notion that computers aren't complicated. They are. They are *very* complicated. You can simplify it, just like anything, but then you make it seem like the things that you don't are explain are just magic. You don't want that. That would be counter productive.
+Houdini111 As a fellow CIT student I agree to an extent. Computers are complicated and in coding one tiny missed detail in the code can be make or break. For no reason the debugger will return an exception for wanting to declare a global variable. In some cases persistence and troubleshooting can return a solution but sometimes it's just an unexplained error
But you see, the real enabling power given to these kids is the fact that when they finally do learn about the ideas you and I think of as 'complicated', it will come to the more easily and in their minds it will be simple and second nature.
True and emphasizing the concepts before covering technicals & specifics is the best way for them to learn, however in general claiming that computers aren't complicated is misleading. Computers would still be just as complicated, maybe even more so as time goes on, the future generations would just be better equipped in understanding it
Thank you. =]
