What would you teach your kids?

 

It's Youth Building the Future Month here at Technical.ly, so we're working to connect with the next generation of technologists.

 

Earlier this week we did a resource guide of 33 tech programs offering skills and early exposure. Give it a read, and let us know if there are there any programs we missed.

 

Want a voice in some future reporting? Tell us: What skills —technical hard skills and soft skills — do you believe will be most essential five, ten years from now? What’s the best way to learn them? Email baltimore@technical.ly with your thoughts.
