The video is clearly meant to be inspiring. A lot of people think programming is too hard for them or not accessible at all, but that's simply not true. It's worth inspiring them to give themselves a shot. Of course, not everyone will be go

you'd be shocked at how many ways people who don't code can get stuck when trying to learn. Many times, they can't even form their question any better than "My code is broken. What do I do?" Having someone human there both gives them the an

No plans for matlab just yet, but it's on our longer term todo list. She'd learn these topics: * Function decomposition * programming style * good problem decomposition * parameters and return values * control structures (for, while, if) *

no, we don't teach matlab. maybe we'll add that in the future. for now, I think she'd just get a lot out of learning some of the fundamentals of programming rather than diving straight into matlab. having a grasp of some of the basics will
