l sebastián and he has 11 years to believe
what the computer is doing
many will think he was playing a
video game watching videos or just
wasting time
when we think of children and technology
the first thing that comes to mind
it’s instruction but sebastián is not
doing that he is programming is
programming a web page
when sebastián was 10 years old he created
his first video game he did with the
scratch tool was inspired by a
video game called uncle tucked
this video game allowed him to
expand your mind and your creativity
nowadays sebastián has
surprised a lot because he has
passed to the third stage of the
Bolivian computer science Olympiad and it’s
able to solve problems
algorithms using the language of
programming that is called weeks more
[Music]
as well as he many children feels
very familiar with technology
teenage children and they can not
separate from cell phones and
computers and this has a reason is
because they are digital natives were born
when technology and the internet already
there was
this generation has a name the
generation z
those born between 1996 and 2010 and that
they are currently between 7 and 21 years old
I want to show you a couple of
comparisons between the thousand in jazz and the
generation z the thousands is the
generation that came before the
generation z
I am the thousand in two millennia can
handle between two and three devices at
Same time
instead the generation z can handle
up to 52 thousand in jazz enjoy
share images the z generation the
creates 2000 eneas are people who are
focused on today
the z generation thinks about the future
the millennials are very people
optimists
the z generation is realistic
[Music]
you are currently representing the
26% of the world population and that’s
quite and it is estimated that by 2020
they’re going to do 40 percent something that
love of the z generation is that they
they dream of being entrepreneurs dream
with changing the world and in fact they have
everything you need to achieve are
self-taught people
if they want to learn something
they quickly go to the internet puts in the
search engine find what they want to learn
and the press are also people who are
independent
Do not be surprised if some of your
small ones to leave home before
get married and finally dream of
change the world
they are people who have a sense of
altruism much more developed than
the 1,000 in jazz and that’s why they’re going to
be great entrepreneurs
it is said that by 2030 much of
the z generation will be in the
working market
that means that by then there
a little frightening trend that says
than 47% of jobs for 2030
is going to be automated by robots and
machines is something that should call us
much attention this trend of
done is not the new trend is a
trend that has already passed almost 10 15
years there were no jobs that today
day if they exist as for example
robotic nanotechnology biotechnology
3d print
all these jobs did not exist
15 years today yes and they are in the
very high demand according to the report
of the works of the future of the
World economic forum of 2010 and 6 65
percent of children that currently
they are entering elementary school
Many of them are their children
when they graduate to work in
jobs that today does not exist
what will their jobs be like
we can prepare our children for
those jobs all parents
family dreams of giving you a future
bright to your son but how can we
do it if we do not know what it is that
comes after
the role of the school the fundamental role
School and principal is to provide the
necessary knowledge to our
children so that they understand the world that
he surrounds him a little bit of math
of physics a little chemistry is true
but why if we live in a world
increasingly technological is not a
priority
teach them how a
computer and even more how to program
that computer
I wonder, are we training
our children and adolescents for
challenges of the future and the answers do not
We look at Daniela García and I proposed a
challenge to innovate education in Bolivia and
if God allows me not only in
Bolivia do it in Latin America
that’s why he founds a school of
technology education called
elementary this school teaches children
and adolescents aged 7-18 years
concepts of robotic programming
3d modeling and we also see some
things that I’m very interested in
production example for youtube
many of these children dream of being
youtubers I want to share a bit of
my story like the one that I knew the
technology
I knew technology by pure
chance because when I left the
school levels I was not sure that
is what I wanted to study how many
of us I liked math I
I liked physics but it’s not enough
information to decide what you want
study decided to opt for engineering
of systems because I had a lot of physics
when I left university is when
I just found my passion I gave
account that the technology is close to
solve problems automate
processes do it more efficiently
and I discovered my passion and not only
I discovered my passion but also
studied in power a power that is
transparent and that people can not
I see technology helped empower
It makes me feel more secure about myself
I transformed myself from being a girl
shy and insecure to make a woman
determined entrepreneur decided to
to conquer my dream is to fight
conquer the world
the question is why wait until the
university so that our children
can learn about technology like
create a mobile application like create
a videogame
if they are born knowing how to use them
they are digital natives
we should not wait so I want
introduce you to nikola g
and what is my nephew there is next to
nice that if another niece
Nicolas is a very creative child and he
He spends hours watching videos and videos
on youtube on how to build things
experiments projects the truth is a
very creative child amazes me
I believe that he will one day be a
great engineer a great doctor a great
architect does not matter what they get
do I think he’s going to be a great
professional but unfortunately the
notes at school do not say the same
I’d love to talk to your teacher
math and being able to show you what
Nicholas is able to do
nicolás can handle variables
functions and loops to solve
programming problems can do
that is monitored and how to bananas
using instructions from
programming a language that is called
koffice craig would love to talk to her
art teacher and show him what
he explained he can create he created a
robot replica of this then that ben
aisa that is called das and did it in a
rather advanced tool that
called blend is like that there are many
cases that I would like to talk to you about and
I would like to tell you this picture for example
there we see eight-year-old angel the prisoner
who is nine years old thi lan who
is 10 years old
they participated this past Sunday
in a programming hackathon
videogames organized by the un on the
peace
they sadly won us but
The experience they had was
amazing
imagine yourself
the little ones doing a video game
to solve life problems
real that we have as
criminality trafficking and trafficking
people
image efe this is the power of the
technology to finish I want
share a couple of lessons that you have
learned in these 18 months working
in technology education with
children and adolescents
the first is do not underestimate the
children and adolescents
even though he is a young age that
they are children who are adolescents have
lived less than us
they have all the capacity of
surprise us and do amazing things
today you want to share a couple of cases
and I have many more to share
sebastián is one of them nicolás is
another of them the three children who saw
there are many more in the world
even more
[Music]
second lesson passion is key
[Music]
this phrase applies to many areas of
our life the professional part the
personal part but in education is
especially very important because the
educators have the role of communicating
knowledge to the students if there is not
passion when it comes to teaching how
they believe that student will receive
that information the passion determines from
that a student I loved hated an area
of knowledge any of you
hates mathematics math
I assure you that it is not that you hate
mathematics is that the teacher of
math was not good does not say no
transmitted his passion at the time of
teach them mathematics and the same with
any area of study education
personalized personalized education
is where our current education
you should no child is equal
everyone has different skills
different learning speeds and
pretend that 45 50 children in a classroom
learn at the same pace of it
shape is a utopia
why we have children who do not
they enjoy the time they spent in the
school what we should do is go
personalized education but as
because it is not difficult to keep pace with
40 50 students is where the
technology to help the
methodologies such as blended learning
that mix face-to-face education with
Virtual education can help us
to keep pace with each student of
customized way and that’s where
elementary you want while earlier better
that means it goes very hand in hand with no
underestimate the we think that when
I went to college is when
they are just going to do amazing things
wonderful but not while before
we started much better because it’s like
have a clay in your hands that is
spinning around in a chair and we’re
putting together a vase so to speak
while the party still wet the
we can mold as it goes by
time dries up and then we do not go
to be able to mold we have to take advantage
when I ‘m younger to
teach them to lose their fear for these
concepts for this one by technology
in general
and good to finish I just want
throw an invitation to all of you
so that when they come home and talk
with your little ones try to identify
those interests do not see the technology
as something bad
technology is something very good and has
incredible power in the hand in the
hands of children and teenagers only
it depends on how we approach it all
our children have the opportunity to
become a superhero
in fact the programming gives them a
superpower, I invite you all to
join with us and prepare
our children for that future thank you
[Music]
