Think Computer Science 2014: Coding: Why it’s Awesome

  • Neeltje Berger, Microsoft; Andrew Fitzgibbon, Microsoft

Speaker: Andrew Fitzgibbon, Principal Researcher at Microsoft Research
Coding – it’s highly creative, extremely useful and it’s in demand! There is a programming skills shortage in the UK and you can help fill the gap. Andrew is a researcher (and coding whizz) at Microsoft and was part of the team that created the body tracking tech behind Xbox Kinect. He’ll look at famous coders and what they’ve achieved, what you can create as a coder and what jobs can you get. He’ll also talk about the Hour of Code, part of Computer Science Education Week, December 8th-14th. People all over the world will be taking part and he’ll show you how you can, too.
