"I've learned a lot of different coding languages just working through the documentation. Coding isn't about a "magic word," it's about problem solving." - Alex, TECH Unleashed member

[BoundlessConnections @Bound2Connect]

He built a nuclear reactor in #Minecraft, and when it kept overheating, he built an in-game computer to monitor it, which required some fancy #coding to make the two talk to each other.

Tech literacy is important for today's workforce, and a big part of it comes from experimenting. Go ahead and try something new!

"Our education and training system is designed for an era of 'once and done' —and will not support a future-ready workforce."
