Tyler shares how he has transformed lives through novel education practices, and how we can implement these changes on a broader scale. Tyler Menezes is the Executive Director at CodeDay, where he works to provide welcoming and diverse opportunities for underserved students to explore a future in technology and beyond. Born in Canada, but raised in the Pacific Northwest, he briefly attended the University of Washington before dropping out to start a Y Combinator and venture-backed social video startup in 2011. This, combined with stints working in machine learning at Microsoft Research and as a programmer at several Seattle startups, led to his work finding data-driven solutions to increasing CS diversity and enrollment since 2014 with CodeDay and in partnership with high schools and colleges. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at [ Ссылка ]
