Zynga’s mission is to connect the world through games. Connecting with friends and making new friends through our games or services involves sharing information, (Zynga Team).
Although Zynga has a well planned mission, the problem is that there are not many people who know how to create these video games. Zynga can create a non-profit branch within their organization; this is where it would be beneficial if Zynga partners with MassChallenge. Since there is a high demand for students to learn computer science, students should start learning at a young age. Zynga could create a nonprofit that partners with middle schools and high schools. Although there is already a core curriculum for students to learn, Zynga can create an after school computer science program for students to take if they are interested in it. This will be beneficial in the long run because there will be many students learning how to code. Students who are accepted into the Zynga program since middle can learn to code until they reach high school. After students make it to high school and choose to continue learning computer science, Zynga can offer these students the opportunity to work in the Zynga office as interns. This way students can see the benefits of working for Zynga in the long run. Masschallenge can help Zynga create this by helping Zynga implement this program within many potential schools. “Americans believe computer science should be taught between kindergarten and the 12th grade.
According to Code.org, 90 percent of U.S. schools are not teaching any computer science. Eyebrows were raised in 2013 as the U.K. passed a plan to educate every child how to code. In 2014, Barack Obama made history as the first U.S. president to program a computer. Yet critics claim that often only the more affluent schools offer computer science courses, thus denying minorities potential to learn the skills required by the 1.4 million new jobs that will be created during the next ten years.
Zack Zand is one of the hardest working students at American Heritage. He strives to do his best at all times, whether in the classroom or in his office. Ultimately, his hard work paid off, as he will attend the Rochester Institute of Technology to study animation. Additionally, Zand enjoys voice acting and audio mixing. In fact, he produced the caller on hold sound for the Heritage phone system. Furthermore, he enjoys completing games as quick as possible. As of this writing, he holds the tenth fastest time for “Pink Hour” and the unofficial world record for “Dadgame.” While these remarkable strengths keep him busy, Zand enjoys every moment. He wants to announce his next project before he receives his high school diploma. He lives in North
Students often leave high school with the ability to recite the quadratic formula from memory or finding the velocity of a hypothetical car driving off of a cliff. However, it is rare to find a student who has the basic knowledge to allow them to function in life on their own as the heavy dependence on common core and courses with rigor prevent them from taking the classes that would benefit them beyond their life as a student. Fortunately, the Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) aims to alleviate this with a vast amount of community service projects and hands-on experiences.

Last weekend, I had a chance to re-read my adorable novel, My Sweet Orange Tree. The book is about a 5-year-old boy named Zeze, who grows and becomes mature through many experiences with his friend named Portuga and his orange tree named Minginui. When I first read the book, I could not understand the author. The author intentionally makes Zeze suffer too much under a harsh reality of society, starting from his young age; Zeze is always misunderstood and overly punished for his naive but problematic behaviors, and at the end he loses both of his best friends, Minginui and Portuga, by accident. They were the only friends who Zeze could really communicate with, and the loss of them just leaves Zeze alone in the harsh world.
but a few words can change its story” (Young). In 2012 Ala Wahib posed for what he thought would be an ordinary picture however the image became extraordinary due to its inclusion in an article titled “An officer and a Muslim Zionist”. It is important that at first glance it is not clear that the officer is a Muslim because it counters a stereotype that all Muslims look alike or that Muslims are at war with Jews. In the article Wahib is asked about how he feels about being the highest ranking Muslim officer in the Israeli army and a Zionist. The illustration of a Muslim soldier in the IDF is a great example of how images can have varying interpretations based on ones perspective.

Naomi tries and explain how college is a sorting process for talent or a way to babysit 18-year-olds is not very efficient. To counter Obama’s vision Naomi talks about how sometimes students get their degree and end up not even using it just as Mark Zuckerberg or the kids that Peter Thiel lured into taking one hundred thousand dollars. To stay out of college for two years and work instead on scientific and technological innovations. Thiel has called college “the default activity” that means that it’s time for a change on viewpoints on college undergraduate education being necessary. Naomi suggests ideas of apprenticeship, not just for shoemakers and plumbers but for white-collar jobs. Also Naomi asks if “students rather show their SAT scores to companies and then apply for training positions where they can then learn the skills they need to be successful?”.
The lifestyle of a hardcore gamer is to be antisocial around human beings, but through the connectivity of the Internet to be social and build friendships and relationships through video games. Xbox has created a live chat while playing video games to verbally speak to the gamers or instantly chat. The social class gamer is divided by the income category that they fall on. Upper and middle class have the ability to spend money on new consoles in the gaming industry, while the lower class does not have the funds to invest in all of the new consoles that are released. The most important key point of the demographic component is the behavior of a gamer. It is important to have a strategic target plan for any new consoles; however, behavior gamers are the marketing targets to any new innovation. Behavior gamers are the most loyal consumers and it has a significant amount of the profitability to the company. As a result, the three different components makes up the target market and is very crucial to be strategic with the plan and know the potential
Many recent college graduates have faced record levels of unemployment. This situation has lead people to question what they value about higher education. Some high school students and their parents are wondering if a college education is worth the cost. Others, however, believe that a college prepares students for more than just a job or career. Many people then present the counter argument that people like Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Mark Zuckerberg did not have a college degree, but unlike them most people are not geniuses and do not have the same entrepreneurial opportunities available to them, let alone the innovative ideas and proper timing. A college education is worth the cost because it is a requirement for many jobs, college graduates make substantially more than high school graduates, and college provides more opportunities for personal growth and networking.

As time goes on and technological advances are made, cyberbullying has become a common and very heavily discussed topic. Not only is this a prevalent issue in our society, but also a personal one as I have faced many difficult situations in dealing with being cyberbullied. A primary reason for discussing the importance of educating parents on cyberbullying is the effect it can have on the entire family system. Cyberbullying differs from general bullying because it is through technological means and does not stop when the child goes home. The negative effects of cyberbullying are abundant; thus, it would be beneficial for parents to receive proper education on creating awareness, advocating, and preventing cyberbullying in their adolescent’s life.
When computer games get in a student's way, nothing more will be left but tired eyes, empty pockets, and piles of school and home works unattended. What makes it worse is that they get to obsessed with these trend that it evolves into a harmful vice which pushes them until they reach the point of neglecting school and cutting classes just to go to those stations and play. These youths are apparently addicted. They are destroying their future without even noticing it.
Bill Gates first took an interest in computer programming when he was 13 years old, while attending school. The school used funds from sales and donations and was able to purchase the students an ASR-33 Teletype terminal and computer time on a General Electric computer terminal. Bill, instantly intrigued, was able to get excused from his regular classes to work with the computer. Bill, then, gained his interest in computer programming. He was able to develop a program where the students could play the computer in a game of tic-tac-toe. This was the beginning of Bill Gates career (Bill Gates, 2011).
