Office Hours, Montreal, Canada

You can do a lot of things knowing programming with math and CS majors will tell you, most of it is math, and you actually have to take very hard math course so. To be a computer scientist you have to know math. To be a technologist, you don’t have to. But so in a lot of high school classes, you could kind of incorporate programming skills into physics as well. Yeah. So and I would agree with you. I don’t really mean to say I have 12 classes, I’m requiring every single high school student to take just because they’re in my field. And so it’s okay, they might just take two or three, and they still might have a chemistry class that’s kind of took half the chemistry class away and added a general computer class to it The big picture has to do with the fact that let’s imagine that it’s possible to teach a 13 to 17 year old student. And teach them stuff they retain rather than filtering it. Hi I’m Katya. I took both classes, and they were great. So thank you for teaching the . Hello. My name is Carl Hines.

We had so many people at office hours that the management came and kicked us out of the lobby. And forced us to have this room, where we had to buy hors d’oeuvres. So signing off from another successful office hours, this time from Montreal. Cheers. [APPLAUSE]
