We Can Now Connect

i was thinking of you. and me. us. and the things that we do. in class and out. i do that a lot, think about you. me. us and the things we do in and out of class. i was thinking in chunks. and spurts. and messy punctuation. in lower cases and confusing places. i was thinking about you when i saw this:


But now our world is too small and too close for us not to make a difference

We can now connect
          
            Crowds around a cause
            The ignorant to knowledge
            The isolated to college
            Orphans to their fathers
            Donors to non-profits
            And injustices to those who can stop it......

.....The true nature of this new age unit
Is in how we use it
Woven into each and everyone of us there is an inner net
And I pray we may stitch our world back together
As we knit, patch, and connect


i was thinking of you. and me. us. and the things that we do. what are you thinking about?

Ever wondered how all the cool things happen on the Internet? How we can make machines and robots to help us, entertain us, thrill us? Did you ever want to write an App, make a game, build a robot? Take your computer apart and see how it works? Create software? Solve problems? Think critically about how the technology we use everyday actually works?

Learn to code. Check out this video and explore code.org. Get a group of friends together or on your own and build something, program something....code!


What do you think? What questions do you have? Do you already code? Will you try this? Will uyu share what you make? Can we have coding here at UWCSEA? How? Where? When?
