  • 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!

      *+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.

    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 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.

    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.

      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.

    • @IdoloR
      @IdoloR 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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.

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.

    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. :)

    • @TheAnnoyingGunner
      @TheAnnoyingGunner 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      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.

    • @WayoffTv
      @WayoffTv 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +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.

    • @TheAnnoyingGunner
      @TheAnnoyingGunner 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      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.

    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
