About the class
Technology seems to happen like magic: when you push a button on a video game controller or ask Alexa a question, the machine does exactly what you want it to. But what’s really happening inside? In this interactive session with teenage tech founder Samaira Mehta, students will break down the millions of tiny on/off switches that live inside each phone, tablet, and computer; learn how code converts those switches into games, images, songs, and more; and discover how to harness that power as computer scientists to change the world.
