Alisa Haoken is a SWA ninth grade student. Ever since her childhood, she has always been fascinated by the multitude of changes technology has brought about in our lives. She started out fiddling around with little LEGO bricks, and soon attended a Robotics centre where she later learnt to use NXT and EV3 to build and program robots. Over time, the technological fields she was exposed to branched out to: engineering and programming through Arduino; using different programming languages such as Java, Python and C++; and web-design through HTML and CSS – and soon discovered her passion for technology. In the midst of her journey, she soon realized the significance of technology in our lives, and is excited whenever she thinks about how it will grow towards the future. Today, she would like to share how to further maximize this growth of technology, and how it can help change the world. Alisa Haoken is a SWA ninth-grader.
