Youth Speaking

Presentation for Middle and High School Students (and sometimes parents too!)

Anything You Can Code, I can Break Better

(Perfect for students who are interested in learning more about software and tech careers)

Available as a 60 minute talk that includes 2 activities

Most students enjoy using their smart phones and computers but what skills go into developing such products?

Students will learn:

• How tech jobs are happy jobs

• How to not get scared off by job descriptions

• How their accomplishments are viewed by industry

• The importance of teamwork, communication and other soft skills in technology

• How to create testable requirements

This presentation will change the way students view their accomplishments and their approach to finding a career.
