I love Tecnology, our planet and Learning
Learning is an integral part of our lives. Finding ways to organize, optimizing and make learing more efficient
would save us much time and icrease our ability to tap into the knowledge we have to solve problems.
That is why cognitive learning
(The science of learning) is among one of my interests. I find research in this field very interesting for example from
Barbara Oakely: Learn how to Learn and Yana Yeinstein: Teaching the science of learning.
Check out my first article on cognitive learing here.
Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics are definately fascinating endevors. Having a midset devloped from the interaction with STEM goes a long way in
creatively solvng problems.
The ability to integrate scientific principles from fields like physics, math, biology with technology is just mind blowing.
I draw some of my ispiration in engineering from countries such as Singapore, Israel and Germany.
Hardware architecture and design is quite intriquing for me, I believe a fundamental understanding of how hardware works is the beginning of creating meaningful solutions.
Understanding basic electronics, computer hardware architectures, and how hardware interacts with software provides a holistic view of the world today given that there are billions of devices and the numbers keep growing.
Like Hardware, data communication and networks are core fundamental technologies. Understanding networking principles makes it possible to interconnect hardware devices.
Networking is the backbone of the internet as we know it today. With the advent of APIs (Application Programming interface) in networking, things keep getting more interesting. The ability to create
user communication interfaces for programs written on top of chips and operating systems is just amazing.
Getting to know hardware and networking fundamentals is just the beginning. All the fun lies in IoT, simply take that hardware knowledge and have fun.
You
do this by creating hardware objects and things that interconnect with each other. IoT raises the possibilites
in our world high. Did I mention you can perform complex AI and Machine learning algorithms on this tiny devices?
Have you noticed that many of the tech interactions today happen in the cloud?
Well, I used to think the cloud meant some virtual mystical place in space where we store our data.
Turns out in very low terms its just renting powerful compute power and services and access them from anywhere in the world.
Connecting IoT devices, apps and intelligent edge to cloud makes me go wow!.
From math to data data-structures and algorithms, I beleive understanding the core fundamentals
of Computer Science goes along way into creativity and problem solving.
For example data-structures help in solving problems in efficient and productive ways.
The contraints of the resources provided by small hardware devices calls for organised well thought programs. Data structures algorithms are are a representation
of creativity.
August 2021 I was selected to lead GDSC community in my school. Check out our twitter handle @DscKenyatta
Joined campus to pursue a degree in Information Technology. I love it here!
