Creative Coding | Jez Whitworth | TEDxSalisbury

Описание: Jez talks about his love of coding and using it creatively to engage with people of all ages. This is a talk about being brave, following your dreams and overcoming the fear of rejection. Jez Whitworth: The warranty voiding inventortainer, slowly taking apart the world whilst encouraging creativity in the people he meets.

Jez gained qualifications in art, design and computing and loves encouraging creativity in the people he encounters. With a background in software development, his IT skills have helped him create an innovative and exciting approach to deliver creative and fun lessons for all ages and abilities.
Two years ago Jez set up First Coding in order to offer comprehensive coding lessons for children aged between 7 and 16 years old in his home city of Salisbury. Covering the important concepts of programming in a fun and creative environment, he provides the building blocks for children to build on their creative ideas whilst all the time gaining confidence with computing and technology as a whole.

In the evenings he can be found mostly in his shed of which he was a Shed of the Year finalist in 2006. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
