北京时间11月17日晚间消息,短短十几天的时间,12岁天才少年托马斯·苏亚雷斯(Thomas Suarez)在“TED Talks”大会上的演讲视频即被浏览了100多万次。

上个月在美国曼哈顿开幕的“TED Talks”大会上,12岁的天才少年托苏亚雷斯对台下观众分享他的创作经验与技术,自信且毫不怯场的神态简直就是年轻版的“乔布斯”(Steve Jobs)。

苏亚雷斯不是最年轻的开发人员,也不是这个年龄段中最出色的,但他的自信和演讲水平令人钦佩,他经常给好友和老师讲解技术问题。

受史蒂夫·乔布斯,以及父母的影响,苏亚雷斯开始学习编程,学习 Python、Java 和C语言。苏亚雷斯开发了知名的 iPhone 应用《Bustin Jieber》。如果认为这些还微不足道,那么他最近还创建了自己的公司“CarrotCorp”。

在演讲中,苏亚雷斯讨论了学生们如何成为了有价值的科技信息的来源,尤其是老师,应该被允许帮助学校开发技术课程。(李明)

人物简介:

Thomas Suarez's interest in technology and programming led him to learn Python, Java, and C “just to get the basics down.” He built an app and then coaxed his parents into paying the $99 fee to get his app, "Earth Fortune," in the app store. Thomas also started an app club at school to help other kids build and share their creations, and is now starting his own company, CarrotCorp.

Most 12-year-olds love playing videogames -- Thomas Suarez taught himself how to create them. After developing iPhone apps like "Bustin Jeiber," a whack-a-mole game, he is now using his skills to help other kids become developers.
