CreativeMornings Oslo - Lead the robots! with Carl Bärstad
tirsdag 19. mai 2015 kl. 08:00 på Bekk Consulting
While the world is buzzing about technological literacy and programming in schools we are forgetting the most important reason why our kids should become creators of technology and not just consumers. It’s not to create more jobs or save our democracy, although it would do that too.
No, it’s to give kids the technological tools to create a more humane society built on creativity, curiosity and the willingness to help others. Because ultimately, that is the whole purpose of technology, is it not?
