What if the future of Java depends on who we invite to learn it today?
In this Foojay Podcast, we're diving into something that affects all of us in the Java community: How can we inspire the next generation of developers, and how do we make the developer world more inclusive?
You'll hear four incredible guests who are actively working to make tech more accessible and inclusive. First, Daniel De Luca talks about Devoxx for Kids and how they support underprivileged students in IT education. Then Kenny Schwegler shares his insights on how we can actively promote diversity and inclusion in tech. Cassandra Chin, the youngest Java Champion and author, talks about inspiring young coders through hands-on projects and making technology fun. And finally, Igor De Souza discusses his mission to bring Java into Raspberry Pi education and bring more Java into coding clubs worldwide.
These conversations share one message: Talent is everywhere, but opportunity isn't. And we have the power to change that!
