[FREE CODING TRIAL CLASS FOR KIDS]
There are coding schools and there is Logiscool. Started in Hungary in 2014, the coding school is now in Singapore and unlike other schools, Logiscool uses its own proprietary platform and special curriculum to teach kids and teens the joy of computer coding through the use of Blox mode, Mix mode and Script mode.
Now that was something that got Ale’s attention because she is not too keen on coding to be honest. But after sitting through a trial session where she designed her own simple shooting game, her interest was piqued. I think it had to do with Logiscool’s way of helping kids write their own cool computer animations, games and applications.
I also think that while not all our kids will eventually become programmers, learning coding certainly helps kids to improve their logical thinking, problem solving and process creation. These skills are extremely important in the future, much more than academic grades in my opinion. Not sure if your kid will love coding before signing up? But once they have come to the coding session they are sure to enjoy coding!! Located in Jurong West, Logiscool is currently offering a FREE TRIAL session for all kids! Simple head over to https://www.logiscool.com/sg-en/school/jurongwest#opendays to book your slot. Alternatively, you can WhatsApp 91110768 to book too. Hurry though, as the free trial sessions ends soon! 😊

校長、教授、以及在螢幕前的各位同學,大家好。非常感謝臺大給我這個機會。我是韓哈斯,來自美國華盛頓特區。我會以自身的真實經驗出發,來跟大家分享臺大帶給我的收穫。
我當初為什麼選擇來台灣求學呢?我小時候非常喜歡看武打片,然後我十歲的時候去看了一部電影叫做「功夫熊貓」。這部電影成為了我最喜歡的電影,主角「阿波」的故事跟我的故事很像。我看完了之後就決定要開始學功夫,所以去了「美國武術學院」。那個時候我每天都聽旁邊的人講中文,到了高中我就決定開始學中文。當時我遇到了一位貴人,她是從台北到美國來教書的中文老師,她教的課是我當時最喜歡的課,我每天去她的教室跟好朋友練習。到了高中畢業時,我是全高中中文最好的非母語人士。同時,我第二喜歡的課程是電腦科學,那時候我是程式能力數一數二的學生。後來在成功錄取夢寐以求的學校:臺灣大學之後,我感到雀躍不已,因為我既可以繼續學習中文,也可以持續在世界頂尖的學府中,往電腦科學的方向精進自我。
不過老實說,當我回顧大一的時期,我也曾迷失自我。雖然我修了很多很多的中文課,但是我那時只聽得懂大概一半的課程內容。跟大家對美國人的印象不同,我其實很害羞,也很害怕舉手提問,我甚至不太敢參與社交,所以當時朋友也很少。我開始想家,也變得有一點憂鬱。那時籃球是我唯一的紓壓方式。
但更不幸的是,我在打籃球時弄傷了我的前十字韌帶,做了兩次手術,需要一年半才能恢復。許多的負面情緒壓得我喘不過氣。我被困在人生的低谷,不知如何是好。我覺得我的中文不夠好,我也被診斷出失眠跟ADHD,另外,美國高中的數學太簡單了,來這邊不夠用。種種壓力讓我足不出戶,找不到自己的人生方向。後來,我向臺大心輔中心以及我的心理醫師尋求協助,然後我也開始跟系上有更多互動。有一位教授叫徐宏民跟我說,"Never give up",雖然那時候我覺得這句話太過於簡化了我的問題,不過,在我仔細思考了一個禮拜之後,我下定決心,發誓不讓自己被這些事擊敗。我決定要克盡全力,認真做好每件事。這是我人生的轉捩點,我開始變得異常自律。當時廖世偉教授和洪士灝系主任帶我進入它們的研究室鑽研學術。這重燃了我對資訊工程的熱忱,提醒了我當初會愛上這個領域的原因。我開始研究人工智慧以及區塊鏈,也開始跟其他系上同學交朋友,一起成立臺大人工智慧應用社NTUAI。NTUAI現在是校內頗具規模的技術研究社團,致力於推廣人工智慧給任何對該領域有熱忱的學生。歡迎加入NTUAI,可以掃描我們的QR CODE。
最近,由於疫情的緣故,我已經一年半沒回美國了。但是沒關係,因為我已經找到了我第二個家。我很愛臺大,以及台灣的人事物。雖然我經歷了人生的低潮,但這裡的一切總是給我滿滿的祝福與協助。最後,我想送給大家「功夫熊貓」裡的一句台詞: "You just need to believe"。只要用樂觀的態度去面對困難,就有能力改變自己,甚至改變身旁所愛的人。就像阿波的父親說的,"心誠則靈,只要你相信,點石就能成金。根本沒有什麼秘笈。只有你。"謝謝大家。

==============================

President, professors, and classmates, I'm very honored to be here. Thank you to NTU for giving me this opportunity. My name's Seth Austin Harding, and I'm from the D.C. metropolitan area. I'm going to tell a real story that's personal but that's relatable and what I see as the real me.
What motivated and guided me to take my undergraduate studies in Taiwan? When I was very young, I really loved watching kung fu movies, and when I was 10 years old, I went to the theater to watch "Kung Fu Panda". This became my favorite movie as I felt like the story of the main character Po was one to which I could very much relate. After watching this movie, I decided that I wanted to start learning kung fu, so I went to the United States Wushu Academy. At the time, I began hearing Mandarin on a daily basis, so when I was in high school, I decided to begin formally studying Chinese. It ended up being my Chinese teacher from Taipei who was my favorite teacher who taught my favorite class, so I decided I'd hang out in the Chinese classroom every day and practice lots. By the time graduation came around, I had attained the highest proficiency in Chinese among any non-native speaker in my school. My second favorite class was computer science, and I ended up attaining among the best coding skills in my school. After getting accepted to the school of my dreams -- National Taiwan University -- I felt honored, humbled, and excited; I could now spend time at among the world's finest universities studying Chinese and at the same time advancing my knowledge of computer science.
But when I look back at my freshman year, to be honest with you, I didn't know what I was doing. Despite having taken very many Chinese classes, when I went to the NTU lectures, I understood only about half of what the teachers were saying. Contrary to most people's impressions of an American, I was actually too shy to raise my hand, to ask questions, or to even meet with teachers after class, so I had very few friends at the time. I started to become homesick and depressed. At that time, I found that basketball was the only way I knew of relieving my stress. However, while playing basketball, I had torn my ACL and it would take two surgeries and a year and a half in time to fully recover. At this point, I felt caught between a rock and a hard place. In fact, this was the lowest point of my life, and I didn't know what to do. I felt like my Chinese wasn't good enough, I had been diagnosed with insomnia and ADHD, and I felt like the math taught in America was too simple to allow for me to keep up with my classmates. I was under immense pressure, and at this time, I lost any sense of purpose or direction. Later on, I went to seek help from NTU counseling, from my psychiatrist, and from my department. I reached out to Professor Winston Hsu from CSIE, and he told me this: "Never give up"; it was such an oversimplified way to approach such a complex series of problems, I had thought. However, I pondered these words intensely for one week, and by the end of that week, I had made a firm decision. This would NOT be another example of me giving up. I decided to go all out, to work diligently and passionately on all tasks at hand. This was the turning point of my life; I started to discipline myself to a very high degree. At this time, I met my then-to-become advisors Professor Shih-Wei Liao and Professor Shih-Hao Hung and entered their labs to begin research. Finally, the passion that I had for computer science that I had previously held in high school was kindled again, and I was finally reminded why I loved this field. I began my research life in blockchain and AI, and at the time I entered the lab, I also began creating NTUAI. NTUAI is now a large and highly successful NTU club that is dedicated to the research and public understanding of AI. Welcome one and all to join us; please scan our QR code here.
For a year and a half I haven't returned to America because of covid. But not to worry; I have found my second home, away from home. I love it here in NTU and I cherish all of the things I've had the privilege to experience in Taiwan. I've gone through the most difficult of struggles in my life here, but I've also had the most fortunate and blessed of experiences. To conclude, I'd like to quote a line from "Kung Fu Panda": "You just need to believe". As long as you are willing to adopt an optimistic attitude in facing challenges and hardships, you may become a positive force in changing the lives of those around you as well as your own life. It all depends on how you view it; just like what Po's father says, "there is no secret ingredient. It's just you." Thank you, everyone.

本文闡述三個為什麼即使身為管理職缺,依然需要寫程式
網路上有非常多的文章再探討到底身為工程團隊的管理者,需不需要繼續寫程式來保持手感?
作者更好奇的是為什麼會有這類型的問題出現,假設今天目標是需要領導整個工程團隊並且讓每個工程人員都能夠更好發揮的情況下,管理人員為什麼要把時間花在沒有辦法達到上述目標的過程?
作者根據自身的經驗來思考這些問題,最後整理出三個理由想要分享給大家
1. Coding Give You Energy
"通常"會變成工程團隊領導者過去也都身為軟體開發人員或是相關的技術人員,能夠長時間位居於此職位且被考慮升等成領導人員的人,勢必都曾經對於 coding 與技術相關的工作擁有熱情。
某些人很享受撰寫程式的過程,能夠找到問題並且動手解決這些問題,透過這些行動讓自己感受到自己是真的有在工作,是有成果的。
相反的,作為一個管理人員,很多時候很難去解釋跟展示自己的能力與進度,沒有辦法像過往一樣簡單的說「這個功能我做的」來簡單展現自我成就,反而其績效可能會變成團隊是否有準時遞交新功能等以團隊為主的表現。
更重要的是,作為管理人員,每一週重新審思一週進度時,都很不好回答到底本週做了什麼樣的事情,更多時候都在處理底下人員間的互動與情緒。
透過重新 coding 能夠讓你找回自己的成就與存在感,讓你重新從撰寫程式中取得快樂,為枯燥的生活添加一些樂趣。
除此之外,還有提到一個是未來職涯的考慮,如果對於自身的職涯還處於一個探索期,甚至最後有想要從管理職轉回到IC (Individual Contributor)等職位,勢必到時候可能又會有一番的Coding面試。
為了確保自己繼續保持那些動手實作的能力與習慣以及隨時準備好轉職一番,培養撰寫程式的習慣能夠讓你更容易得去轉換跑道。
最後提到,最重要的一點其實是要先了解自己,知道自己到底需不需要繼續寫更多程式,如果自己從撰寫程式這個過程可以得到更多的成就,活力與喜悅,可能就要思考管理職缺是否是一個自己追求的長久目標。
