Just Scratch It

Howdy guys,

Whenever I come across something inspiring and thoughtful, I like to share it. In this way it can reach as many people as possible and maybe, just maybe it can also inspire someone else. You know how the chain works, smile at a stranger and they smile to another stranger and boom!! The whole place is smiling…


The YouTube video from the talk.

I recently came across a certain TED Talk. I love watching these talks and it’s amazing how much you can take from someone’s 15 or so minute lecture. So this particular talk that I am talking about is by one Mitch Resnick of MIT media. He was talking about how coding isn't just for computer whizzes but it’s for everyone. And so, in a fun filled demo talk, he demonstrated and outlined the benefits of teaching kids to code. This will enable them to do more than just “read” new technologies – but also create them. Below is the YouTube video from the talk.
