Coding for kids as the new African language | Noluvuyo Gqadu | TEDxLytteltonWomen
Coding and computational thinking is what unites us as Africans as it connects us to new ways of doing things. When African kids learn to code, they will transform our economies and contribute to the fight towards ending poverty. Coding makes kids have a better understanding of the world around them, it is not just a technical language but a new African language that can solve our own unique African problems. Noluvuyo Gqadu is an award-winning technology professional. She is a Founder for CodeNgwana, an organisation that is focused on teaching kids how to code. Her main objective is to help the African child go digital through teaching computational thinking and coding to kids. She has 12 Years’ experience in the Information Technology (IT) industry, fulfilling various IT functions and roles within various organizations. She has a huge passion for solving social issues through technology. In her line of work, she has been privileged to contribute and expand her knowledge on disciplines such as the mental health space for children, EdTech (education and technology) communities and social entrepreneurship spaces across the globe to help alleviate poverty in Africa. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
