Speaker: Andrew Fitzgibbon, Principal Researcher at Microsoft Research
\nCoding \u2013 it\u2019s highly creative, extremely useful and it\u2019s 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\u2019ll look at famous coders and what they\u2019ve achieved, what you can create as a coder and what jobs can you get. He\u2019ll 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\u2019ll show you how you can, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
