Engineers of future

-

Our collective relationsh­ip with the Internet and how it is changing our way of life is a cultural issue that most of us face today. Computer illiteracy, therefore, should not be tolerated, and this is why the One Million Arab Coders Initiative is important. It is giving an opportunit­y to kids and adults to learn the ropes of coding for free. Of course, getting hired by big tech firms is sure a lure, but the larger focus is to build a generation of Arab coders who can engineer a future that allows them to represent their culture.
