CTE Guest Speaker 2

We had a speaker come in to talk about the Hour of Code, and was surprisingly, the founder of it who was Hadi Partovi. He talked about his background, and where he grew up, and how he didn't learn much about computer science, where it wasn't offered where he was from, which was Iran. He mentioned he taught himself how to code, and immigrated to the United States and started to work as an software engineer. As he was working his way up to a higher position, he was successfully accepted to Harvard University and graduated with Masters degree. His passion grew for computer science and developed "Code.org". Hadi's success grew with the guidance from his family and mentors, and influenced him to aim higher and never settle for less.
