Young App Developers

Casey, 13, speaking

At TED Talks for 

Programing and Coding 

     The technology field has been introduced to new young strong influences in the industry. They attain world-class coding skills and are only in their teens. One child, Harry Moran, only twelve years old speaks out and teaches people about what kids really want to play. He is also the youngest to app developer as of 2011. He is a great advocate for the non-profit institutes that he himself had learned computer coding from. In particular, the CoderDojo, teaches students who want to create apps, programs, and computer functions. These places are popping up all over to reach out to younger (primarily) students wanting to learn how to create codes and basics of computers. These institutes bring a new vision of education to the table for the younger mind. They say the best way to teach them is to encourage the children themselves to be mentors when they learn something. 
There was a recent incident where Moran's neighbor's child had a tumor growing behind his eye. The doctors didn't have a program where they were able to view scans via internet so they couldn't diagnose how to treat it. Moan stepped in and created the program they needed, and it helped save the other boy's life.

Algae Farm Provides Renewable Energy!

One of many algae farms, particularly Phil Lane's out in Ohio, has been putting out the word that algae might be a great energy alternative to fossil fuel use. Phil Lane has been performing many tests and trials with using algae for multi-purposes. One of the benefits of working this farm, says Phil, is "Algae can be grown just about anywhere, so we are not competing with farmland for growing food crops," said Lane, who manages the Wooster algae pilot facility. "Algae can add value to marginal lands, generating a crop that can be turned into biofuel and a variety of bioproducts." Algae can be used not only for an efficient source of energy, but for ingredients for bio-degradable products, health safe food naturalizer, and natural additives. Algae is also packed with beneficial vitamins for your body. The algae farming business is spreading quickly throughout the country and is looking very promising for future resources.
