iCode was at DFW World Affairs Council Conference hosted at Southern Methodist University campus on March 28th. The topic was “Education as a Human Right”. It was a very grounding experience to see the endeavors that the awe-inspiring panel members, had taken upon themselves, to make access to education an equal right for everyone.

Participating from iCode, we asked several questions on how they were leveraging technology to bring Education to the Masses and where did Tech Ed figure, in the basic Ed, they were struggling to provide?

On behalf of iCode, we offered access to our scholarship fund to several institutions that were there that have students who would be interested in pursuing an education in computer science. All in all, it was an extremely positive experience. Team iCode is inspired by this engagement.

Wondering how teaching children about entrepreneurship can change their lives? Empowering kids at a young age to learn about running a business can lead to increased independence and the potential for higher earnings over the long-term. This happens with the help of supportive parents that foster development. Nurture and Motivate a Passion for Business  Children don’t have to run a business, or even have a job, in order to recognize entrepreneurial opportunities. Helping your kids to recognize businesses in their daily routine can help them with self-discovery, creative insight, and an appreciation for monetary value.  Thinking of ways to incorporate business lessons into your child’s lives include identifying the cost of their favorite toys, saving money to purchase something of higher value, or involving them in selling things online. Finding chores around the house and negotiating how much doing that chore should cost is another great way to nurture business sense.

Instead of providing them with direct and firm answers, allow their curiosity to help them discover the world around them on their own terms.…
