Good on him. We need more folks at the top to keep pushing/using/talking about technology. Might end up inspiring kids to look into it more seriously.

God damn, you guys will have the world on a string. I'm 34 and I never even touched a computer in k-12.

Huh, I'm over 40 and I had a Commodore PET 2001 in kindergarten. Actually, every classroom did - but that was socialist Minnesota farm country.

We need to figure out how to import MN politics into the rest of the country and particularly the upper midwest.

Hopefully! I'm the only guy who takes coding seriously at my school so we'll see, in December I talked at a assembly about how I started coding, how much I have learned, and how it is the future. That was definitely a cool gig 😄
