Coding: By a kid, for kids | Krish Mehra | TEDxKentState

In the past 50 years, we have gone from using computers that filled full air-conditioned rooms, to having tablets that fit in the palms of our hands. Advances in hardware and software have led to this revolutionary innovation in technology. Krish wants to share the importance of kids learning to program, to fuel the next wave of innovation.

My name is Krish Mehra, and I am 11 years old and I am in sixth grade. When I was eight years old, I became interested in coding. Since then, I taught myself multiple coding languages including HTML, Java, Python and Swift. This has lead me to create two apps that have been published on the iOS App Store.

Now I am 15 y/o and I have been coding since age 10. I have taught my self Java, C++, Python, JavaScript, CSS and HTML and I just want to say coding is easier if you think it is easy all you need is to be logical.

[navalkumarshukla]

I'm a software engineer, I watched this talk just to get some inspiration, and indeed I have some now.

[dumbhoney]

The child is smarter than the adults lol

[wycliffemuchumi]

Isn't it just amazing how this kid is technically intelligent?, Big shout out from me here at Kenya and a real python guru and currently horning my java script skills.

My dad made me watch this when I was watching fortnite

Krish you are really an inspiration for all of us I am 7 years old and started learning basics of coding with some in python, HTML, CSS for now. I started a little endeavour to teach the same to my friends through my channel ;)

[beatrizdavismotivacao]

😮. You are such an inspiration. You speak with confidence and you are a fun smart boy. My son is 7 and he is learning how to code. Thank you for inspiring us.

This is an amazing thing, that our technology is going to develope so much in next 10yrs than it has developed in previous 5 decades,
really I think that kids should be taught computers from their early childhood, because who knows one day they could be a inventor of tech

[amtm]

Love this! So glad my kids are learning to play while playing Terminal Two's learn to code video games!

[imutkarsh]

My parents don't support me. They always say stop these things. I am python programmer at age of 14 and i love computer but I have 10 year old low end laptop. I demand for new computer but they said no. They always say get good grades. - from India

[CodingWithKids]

Great presentation, I love that! I hope to speak with confidence like you one day.

[codinghero]

Great talk!! Coding is the future for the kids. It also develops problem-solving skills for kids.

[NPStation]

Wow Krish, you are an inspiration for kids like me. I am 10 years old, now in 4th grade. I am learning the basic concepts of programming as well.

[Hannah-jqbc]

well, im here because my mom told me to watch this for online classes. she signed me up for coding.

[AccordingtoHawa]

So I'm upstairs and heard my children watching pointless tv shows. I hacked the tv downstairs and they're forced to watch this video because I'm controlling the TV from upstairs. 😜

[greenapple]

By now, he'd be getting ready for college. Regardless of which he picks, I'm sure he'll get accepted.

[rafageist]

I started at 11 years old with Mallard BASIC on an Amstrad PCW with CP/M. Now I try to teach my 8 year old daughter. I think coding should be learned by children. Programming changed my life.

[rohansethi]

So inspiring I’ll learn to code now. thanks Krish!!

I enrolled my kid today to a coding class, then after attending the class with her, I decided to do a little more research on coding. Insightful video, coincidentally, you mention my country 3:48
