Do Coding Skills Future-proof Your Child’s Career?

Learn how to empower your kids to thrive in a rapidly changing world driven by coding, artificial intelligence (AI), crypto, and other emerging fields.

McKinsey predicts that 375 million jobs will be displaced by automation and AI by 2030. Many of the jobs that today’s kids will be doing in the future don’t exist yet. Coding is said to be the literacy of the 21st century.

These ideas are only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to how we need to adapt our kids’ education and equip them with the tools to not only survive but thrive in the 21st century. But how? Should all kids learn to code? Are schools doing enough? What other resources are available to you as parents? What advice is accurate and trustworthy, and what information should parents ignore?

These are the questions Pulkit Agarwal, Stanford Alumni and CEO of Strive Math, will grapple with over a one-hour Zoom seminar.

About Pulkit Agarwal
Pulkit Agarwal is one of the youngest to graduate from Stanford University with an MBA at the age of 25. Business Insider identified him as one of the “five rising stars from Stanford Graduate School of Business’ class of 2020”. In 2015, he graduated from Georgia Institute of Technology at the top of his class with a perfect 4.0 GPA, earning the award of Mechanical Engineer of the Year.

Pulkit has since dedicated himself to making education more joyful and meaningful for students in Singapore. He has helped hundreds of students get into their dream schools through SAT test prep, and most recently, started a cutting-edge, venture-backed EdTech startup, Strive Math, where they are reimagining coding and STEM education for kids aged 8 to 16.
