Cool Coders

Check out these cool coders featured in the new FLVS Procedural Programming course!

Harshita Arora: Not Your Average 15-Year-Old

Harshita Arora is a self-taught app developer, launching her first project at the age of 15. Inspired by her computer science teacher, she scored an internship, which eventually led her to MIT Launch, an entrepreneurship program for teens hosted at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). That's where she was inspired to code her first iOS application called Crypto Price Tracker. It was an instant success. Within 24 hours of launch, it was the number two finance app in the U.S. Apple App Store. These days, Arora has her interests focused on machine learning and artificial intelligence. And we can't wait to see what she does next.

Elon Musk: Harnessing the Power of Data for the Good of Mankind

You may know him as the founder of high-tech companies such as Tesla and SpaceX, but before these epic achievements, Elon Musk was a kid who liked to code. He taught himself computer programming at the age of 12, igniting his curiosity and inspiring him to pursue a career where he could change the world. As an entrepreneur, Musk is no stranger to using the power of data to make decisions and think big—really big. He's made a name for himself by planning the future colonization of Mars, figuring out how to reuse rocket boosters, and making strides that will one day allow sustainable energy use and production on a wide scale.

Carol Shaw: First Female Game Developer

As a teenager, Carol Shaw dominated at all the interscholastic math competitions. As a student, she graduated from Berkeley, one of the most elite computer science master's programs. And as a highly sought-after graduate, she took a job with Atari, becoming the first female video game designer. While at Atari, she created 3D Tic-Tac-Toe, figuring out how to apply artificial intelligence in a game with limited RAM. Later, Shaw designed games for Activision, where she created River Raid, an immediate hit that won several awards. Despite her success, Shaw is quite humble and known for saying, "I got paid to play games."

Reshma Saujani: Founder of Girls Who Code

Reshma Saujani is not technically a programmer, but she thinks like one. When she ran for United States Congress in 2012, she identified a problem—the schools along her campaign route did not have many girls enrolled in computer science courses. Like any good programmer, she set out to solve this problem. She did so by founding Girls Who Code, a nonprofit organization that encourages young women to learn about programming. So far, it's working. In 2014, 3,000 students completed a Girls Who Code program, and 95 percent of those students went on to major in computer science at a university.
