Techweek inspired blog with June Chong from TechnologyWise
As it is Techweek this week; Aotearoa’s festival for tech that’s good for the world - we thought it would be a good excuse to catch up with some of our residents in the technology sector at Basestation. One of the longest standing companies here is TechnologyWise, we sat down for a kōrero with June Chong, one of the youngest members of the team.
National Coding Week - and a good excuse for us to talk about Grace Hopper, the namesake of one of our meeting rooms
Monday 16th September marks the start of National Coding Week. Now in its 11th year, this week sets out to inspire individuals of all ages to learn and embrace coding skills.
The importance of coding skills in today’s digital age can not be overstated. Whether it’s developing apps, designing websites, analysing data or automating tasks, coding is at the heart of many technological innovations.
It is also the perfect opportunity to talk about Rear Admiral Grace Hopper, one of the namesakes of our meeting rooms. Hopper was a pioneer of computer programming, she saw the opportunity and importance to make programming accessible to all and advocated for coding languages to be created in ‘English’.
