What People Say About Digital Techs Like CEDE
It is inevitable that we will need digital technology to re-imagine learning beyond schooling. Even if it is only to inspire people to do more things physically.
"Technology is nothing. What’s important is that you have faith in people, that they’re basically good and smart, and if you give them tools, they’ll do wonderful things with them."
Steve Jobs
“Technology touches everyone, everywhere, and I want to be part of that.”
Caitlyn, of Girls Who Code
“Technology helps solves the problem of access and quality in education. It can go where good teachers will refuse to go and give students the benefit of the same quality of education that the best schools enjoy.”
Adeboye Oshinaga
