3 Steps To Programming

This was the most challenging talk I delivered this year. My audience were girls of age ranging from 9–15. Colleges girls were better because I just had to ask them to do things which I learned the hard way. Doing the same here would be an overkill. I had to dilute my tech talk so much that it ended up as a completely different thing.

Most college girls already felt threatened by programming and wondered how guys eased through it. But in the case of these kids, they are just starting. We don't have to save them from any threat instead I just had to give them the push they need to climb the ladder. So that's exactly what I did. I told them that they were just "3 Steps away from programming".
