I'm going to Information Technology and that will be my career!
Passion to create & persistent enough to keep trying ✨️
Thank you for this, I have selective mutism and I'm thinking about studying cs and this gave me a whole new motivation
Damn, should’ve watched these videos before my every exam. Like for example, chemistry Ted talks before chem, bio talk before bio exam
So beautifully put: code to express yourself! Thank you!
so unbelievably proud of you!!
Incredible!! So inspiring. I love it
I am a newbie middle school computer science teacher. I will definitely show this to my students. Thank you!
Inspiring speech.. For every technology lovers
speech was awesome and inspiring! and thanks for a great information.
Hit me right in the feels. I'll give it another shot.
thank you for sharing your expierence. Your speech was touching and amazing

Keep on keepin on 👍🏻
Madeline!!! I'm so proud of you! You've blossomed from that shy 5th grader to an inspriration for all. Way to go! Ps..love the award from 5th grade. You defintiely earned that math award. ❤
Nice!
The most valuable thing about code is being wrong. Bugs (mistakes) are a fact of life.
🙌🙌🙌🙌
what is coding and what do you guys do coding for
❤️
Coding is not so difficult we should learn it from childhood like maths

Don't learn to code, learn the concepts
After watching this video for you girl, I started to make a decision to become a codegirl
10:40
Wonder if she graduated? Where is she now?
Well when you want to be a Game developer you need High Math.
very cool. now, stop looking at the word nerd as something negative!
We need more female engineers, programmers, software developers in IT. Historically, IT has been known a male dominant environment. Time has come to put more focus on diversity.

But not purely for the sake of diversity. Focus on encouraging people of all stripes to be competent engineers, don't just throw them head first in the industry for the sake of a quota or the US will struggle to compete globally.

Give me attention for inspiration. You don't have to be good at things, lol.
10:26 you also have the privilege of being a white pretty girl. good job on your accomplishments though, this was inspiring, but it's not too realistic.
