adrián’s message in the yahoo forum

questions to my friends say that I am a

criminal because I programmed an application

that does all the homework of the school by

I am what

the posture so super viral but more

interesting was the response itself that

the same adrián gave a couple of weeks

Then do not worry, said Adriana

now my friends say that I am a genius

because the application also does the

task for those doing this application will

it took four hours adrián and it took him

three months to school realize

what was happening

I have no idea if he did it Adrian was

well it was not bad I’m not here to

play it but this case woke me up a

series of questions that we are more

head

Adrián or his companions Adrián was

four hours looking for the solution

specific to a super problem

concrete did a lot of testing in

his pile of solutions many things

they went well and many things came out

wrong and all that knowledge that the

he acquired will be in his head

for the next projects

I do not know exactly what it was that

They did their peers but I

I can imagine

in those same four hours learning

and studying from memory as surely

we did most of us for

take an exam and forget about

absolutely everything

five minutes later then I’m going to

ask who are the most head

who incorporated more and better

knowledge

imagine that I suppose exercise the

biceps arm lifting weights all

the muscle that your development is going to

serve not only to lift weights

but for a lot of other tasks

In other words, this example

Weights are a tool that I will

allow to do a lot of other

activities

exactly the same happens with our

minds

every time we are programming or

learning to program we are

exercising our minds

because programming necessarily requires

the skill of a lot of

different capacity characteristics

logical reasoning thinking

frustration capacity with this what

I want to say is that learning to program

It’s not just for kids who want

be programmers it does not matter if a guy

wants to be a chef accountant player

football

if that kid learns programming is going to

find the best version of yourself

it is impossible to avoid the fact that

guys are going to spend a lot of hours

with digital devices you can not

fight the only decision we can

take as adults is if we want to

the boys have a passive role and

reactive where they are only

consumers are all the time

playing little games and watching videos in

youtube or if we want them to have a role

proactive of creators and not all

the day generating and learning things

because it’s very different is very different

play a video game that create a

videogame

There is a small town in the south of Tanzania

in africa where there is only internet

and telephone line in two places in

one of the presidential residences

which is used two or three days per year and

in the police station where he warns

when president is going to go to bed

people to take care of the

security in that police station

in the background works the jail of the people

the director of that prison has a son

of 13 years called Moscow little

he helped his father with homework

everyday things that need to be done in the

jail

one of his tasks is to distribute the food

cell by cell 1 to 1 the last

prisoner who entered that prison is

a former British driver who was

traveling to a year for tanzania

performing humanitarian tasks in a

somewhat confusing episode was seen

involved in a fight and apparently

because of being a foreigner what

sentenced to four years in prison

every time Moscow brings him food he

they made jokes among themselves and in very

little time they became great friends

he spent the whole afternoon talking about

football the former British driver even

got that moscow saga fan fanatic

the manchester united his team

favorite soccer one day when

they took the former British pilot of the

cell to showers by the same path

because he always went from an office like

via always and through the window

he saw the same computer that he saw

always but the difference was that this

time instead of that computer

it’s off

I saw a person sitting using her and her

life counts and discovered that that

computer had internet connection

and went crazy the next day

he started teaching programming to

Moscow the former British pilot before

Enlist in the armed forces

I had studied science

computing for three years in the

oxford university

of course he from within the

cell and snot outside Moscow took

notes was running to the computer

he tried what he was told, he returned every

time with more questions than answers and

that dynamic happened all the time

four hours per day for two years

until the former British pilot died

I still have a consequence

gallbladder disease but not for

never ever learn not to

study never stopped programming if

I only a few years later Moscow

that he still helped his dad in the

jail was making an inventory

in the infirmary and noticed that some

medicines every time there was more

well those medications were used

inventory after inventory of certain

medicines every time there was more

quantity

then it was the village hospital

where his sister works as a nurse

offer them the medicines

the navy said that they did not have to

the hospital passed something very similar

basically the sister here said what

what happens is that half of the remedies

abound, and the other half is missing

we have not one

the people that hurt us remedies do not have

no idea what we need

At age 16, Moscow developed a

application that could predict with

much accuracy the speed at which

HE

consumed drugs in all

hospitals in the area

with that information and then the fight

tireless to be able to get in

contact with the NGO that sent their

medicines completely reorganized

donations not only the amount

but also the variety of

medicines

the NGO estimated that in the first twelve

months that they used the system

prediction that Moscow designed him

saved 85 people

a 16 year old boy had an idea

he executed and saved his life at 85

people

the NGO emboldened with the success that

had this project a lot of

computers to school and the

necessary infrastructure so that in

that school or internet and Moscow

began to teach programming to

rest of the guys

the first project to develop all

together and optimize the foods of the

Village eaters in a very short time

they managed to give food a

30 percent more

the second project they made a

automatic system to store water

of rain

one of the scarcest goods there

in Africa they changed their lives

full of a town

they improved the quality of each of their

inhabitants forever

know the history of moscow me

mobilized a lot and that’s why and in honor

to him since the beginning of this year

organized courses and workshops of programs

and robotics absolutely free for

guys who live on the street in visas or

that come from very vulnerable families

that the boys love

in one of those workshops does some

months we proposed to the boys that

they said what would be the

next project where we’re going

work one of the students told us

that a field that had remained

blind and that although it was adapted very

quick to use the white cane that

staff was very helpful to him dodge

columns like this one but it was

absolutely useless to elude

posters hanging from the ceiling like

this one and he proposed us as a solution

we ask the guys to think

ideas the next week they came

all the guys with a lot of ideas

among them they organized and decided

what was the idea that he liked the most

I was basically grabbing some glasses

common plastics and with the

programming knowledge and

robotic that they know incorporated the

previous classes

the idea was to put some sensors

forward connected speakers to the

cost so that those who are old

nap for hitting something

Proximity sensors issue a

signal speakers emit studs

a sound and the blind person who

have positions stay stopped and avoid

The hit

first the guys drew it chicken

they built here asserted sensor of

proximity and the speakers later what

they programmed and we finally tried it

have started very well you do not go for

behind

the project was a success came out

incredible works perfectly in

each of the tests we did

As far as I looked, there is no

product like this anywhere in the

world and they did guys who have

between 8 and 12 years old he kisses sincere are

old people were horrible weighed tons

the batteries last only a few

minutes were uncomfortable they fell

I think he’s doing a little bit

back but it does not matter it’s not just

important what is valuable is to realize

that when a group of guys want to

knowledge gives motivation and

tools in an environment where they can

express yourself read from but freely in

serious without any fear of

wrong projects appear

incredible like this one I would love

show the glasses and tell this

Moscow project

I would also love to tell you that I am

now about to be dad for the first

but I have no way of telling it

Moscow

I spent a lot of hours looking

information on the internet where any

number of emails to all

directions that I found I never had

no response

every track that I found led me to a

dead end but I do not lose the

hopes because he trusted that when my

daughter is born and have the wall of the

school at that time and to all

schools of the world teach

programming to all students and

I dream that one day when I tell you

this same story

to my daughter and her friends among them

they said develop something new and I

allow finally you will find mucus

thank you very much
