Fujia Wang has been coding since he could tie his shoelaces. From a hedonistic beginning, he shares how coding for altruistic purposes has enriched not only his own life, but that of others. Fujia Wang is a sophomore student at NIS. He was born in China and has lived the majority of his life in Canada. Since he was grade three, he would program games in scratch and started robotics in grade 5. However, he found that these experiences although intriguing were not motivating and impactful to an extent. Fast forward to the start of grade 10, he started his Personal Project which aimed to explore the environmental and societal implications of computer vision algorithms; this new discovery became a breaking point and opened his eyes about not only learning to code but learning to code something that can change the community around you. It can be said that computers taught him how to “see”. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at [ Ссылка ]
