What ignited your interest in tech

Several of my colleagues and I recently had the unique opportunity to teach an introductory course on web design and software development principles for honors students at The fact that non-tech focused students were able to not only do really well in the course, but they found great satisfaction and inspiration from it, was very encouraging for the future of tech talent. As I mentioned in an To help ignite interest in programming across the student body, Sacred Heart University and Regardless of the career the students choose to pursue, all students agreed that the course was beneficial, since technology and data are part of everything today. And, for those pursuing technology fields, those firms still need marketing professionals, writers and those with other liberal arts backgrounds to be successful. We at Wovenware were honored to teach the students of Sagrado Corazon and their enthusiasm was contagious. Judging by this group of students who will become the next generation of professionals, the future is looking quite bright.

In today's tech-centric world, And before you walk away thinking your kid isn't interested in STEM and can't possibly be interested in STEM, remember Those subjects encompass a ton of interests, activities, and learning opportunities that extend beyond the classroom! This post isn’t about the trends and statistics, or the importance of coding, though many of our other posts are—we love writing about all of it on this blog! Instead, we’re going to take about one hundred steps back and focus on something fundamental. In this post, we’re getting back to basics: how to spark a love for learning, just for the sake of it. After all, we believe STEM is worth exploring because it's cool, and it can activate kids' imagination and curiosity about big ideas! After all, it’s a long road to that That spark kickstarts a personal journey for every innovator, and we’re here to focus on that journey today because, to borrow a famous phrase, “The journey is the destination”. Don’t get me wrong; there are some pretty awesome destinations for kids to aspire to and dream about. We love cheering kids on along their way! However, the path that can lead to those destinations is just as important, valuable, and exciting. There are countless approaches to instilling a love for learning, and one way is through technology, with the key residing in finding an authentic, meaningful “spark” for your child. That could be a natural inquisitiveness about science or tech, or it could be a connection to some...

New York: Mark Zuckerberg's father said in a radio interview Friday that an early exposure to computers inspired his son's interest in technology, and he encouraged parents to support their children's strengths and passions with a balance of "work and play." "My kids all grew up around the office and were all exposed to computers," said Dr. Edward Zuckerberg, a dentist. "There are advantages to being exposed to computers early on. That certainly enriched Mark's interest in technology." Zuckerberg said he computerized his offices in 1985. His son Mark Zuckerberg, cofounder and CEO of Facebook, was born in 1984 and was raised in the house where his father's dental offices are located in Dobbs Ferry, N.Y., in suburban Westchester. The dentist spoke for an hour on Westchester station WVOX in an interview with Paul Feiner, supervisor of Greenburgh. Dobbs Ferry is a village in the town of Greenburgh. The dentist said his own computer science background was "limited" - he majored in biology in college - but he said he's "always been technologically oriented in the office" and "always had the latest high-tech toys," including an early Atari 800. "It came with a disk for programming," he said. "I thought Mark might be interested and I imparted that knowledge to him. From there it took off." He said Mark got a book on programming, but "ultimately his ability to program was self-taught." Feiner and a number of callers to the live radio program asked Zuckerberg for advice on parenting...

How are waves of disruptive technologies, such as more advanced versions of artificial intelligence systems, changing the way we work, live, and play? Are there pathways that academics, practitioners, innovators, and entrepreneurs ought to be pursuing to ensure that the largest share of the benefits associated with new technologies uplift the most marginalized populations? What professional training is needed to ensure that this happens? What responsibility do creators of new or repurposed technologies have when they, and their organizations, create products or systems that might have adverse societal consequences? We are in an era in need of clear professional guidelines and norms, to say nothing of laws and regulations regarding the social impacts of new technologies. Public interest technology, as an emerging field, aims to help shift the scholarly focus from the technologies to the technologists. To support this nascent field, students, faculty, and staff at MIT are launching a conversation to encourage technologists from different fields to confront the ethical and moral dilemmas that require them to redefine best practices in the face of ever-changing societal needs and norms. The Public Interest Technologist (TPIT) is a new online publication that seeks to bring together the MIT community to define and discuss the social responsibilities of individuals who design, implement, and evaluate technologies, especially in new fields. The editorial team for this publication...
