On December 14th, I went to the Brothers Code event at Laney College in Oakland. The 2 hour free event was sponsored by the Kapor Center, the College Bound Brotherhood, and the Hidden Genius Project. There were about 50 other Boys there. I saw a couple kids from school.
During the first hour, we met a lot of people who worked for different companies, including the guy who makes the ads on YouTube (Grrr). The different professions we learned about included Manager, Funding, Programmer, and Designer. A lot of people wanted kids to be able to write code.

The second hour was part of the National Hour of Code Week. President Obama sent a message about how he wanted us to learn to code! That was pretty cool. It teaches kids how to write lines of code. Later, we did coding puzzles with Angry Birds. The whole point of these puzzles was to teach kids that coding is not difficult. Did I mention that it was FREE! I still can't believe the President sent a video.
I hope you are informed thoroughly. Stay Awesome!
