Speech 2016

Have you ever wanted to make good tech? I bet you’ve thought you could not do it. But, in fact, you could learn it at your own school. Im Nate, and i'm here to tell you why you should learn coding at school! Reason 1. It’s a basic literacy in the modern age. You have probably seen heaps of phones, computers and electronics in your life. These are very common things that gladly make people happy. You should know how they work, or have a basic idea instead of thinking there oblivion magic.

Reason 2. It can change the world, by making technological improvements in the tech that adults make! It’s simple. Kids can check for problems with the things they make and improve quality and quantity, and it’s not like slavery! They can have fun doing it and they don't have to alone. Since there are roughly 1.9 BILLION kids, they won't be doing much work. They can do it with friends, parents, caregivers, and last but not least, teachers.

Reason 3. You can bring your ideas to life! You can think of many ideas, but only make some of them actually happen. Technology, not surprisingly, help with that. Kids can use all their ideas that they have in their not so small brains.

Reason 4. It can be really easy to learn if you think of it in the right way, have the right tools and working with the right people. Coding had to be learnable for people to make all of the tech that exists. So, i personally think we could all learn coding at our own school.

Reason 5. It makes kids brains work better! You would want yourself to be smart, right? Just like being bilingual, your brain works better the more you know. What i mean is the more you learn, the better your brain works.

Also the 6th BIGGEST reason why you should learn coding is… it’s very fun! And just something you might wanna do

So coding,  it’s fun, important, a literacy, and it can change the world! These are the reasons why coding should be taught at school. Thank you.

Today i was learning to make good comments. I think i did good on this one? IDK

Olympic story (made up)

I could see the finish line, and I thought I was going to succeed.

But of course my pedal HAD to break down at this exact moment. I was going to win anyway but some jerk was making a noise like thunder viciously striking down! AND he threw food at me. So rude. All I could think of was when it started. I was getting my bike ready and someone bumped into it. That was a bad thing, because the olympic bikes were super, crazy light. That's why my bike broke down! And the person who did it was ahead!

So, I had a plan to win. I threw the food at him just used my right leg to pedal. It was so hard and I had to pedal carefully. My the end my leg was burning but you guessed it, I won gold.  Yahoo!

This is a very old slide I found that I wanted to share with you! (its not very good :P)
