Bill aimed to engage with the students about the importance of failure and resilience, as well as sharing personal details about what life is like in the tech, startup and VC worlds. Throughout the hour, our CTO spoke about his experiences and career path. Key takeaways from the session included:
- Keeping interests broad, and never being afraid to ask questions to stimulate new ideas
- Understanding the importance of coding, and how it relates to logic
- Learning to approach a problem and dissect it, rather than focus on learning specific coding language
- Maintaining a high-level of curiosity
We were inspired by the students' passion for learning and curiosity in the tech world – and are thrilled to see young students taking advantage of the amazing opportunities that All Star Code is offering.
We look forward to keeping in touch with the students and seeing how these future leaders grow! To learn more about the program and ways to get involved, visit http://www.allstarcode.org/.
