Anvitha Vijay is the youngest app developer at WWDC (Apple Worldwide Developers Conference). The budding developer got into programming after she created an app concept called "GoalsHi" when she was 7. The app concept won her a $10,000 prize in a contest in Perth, she says. "After that many people told me to get into coding, and I thought ‘I have to get into coding if I want to make it real.’"

She particularly likes building app prototypes and wireframing (sketching) all the screens. "I find UX design really cool because it goes into problem solving and how everything really works," she says. "I find that prototyping, coding, and experience are all kind of linked because it all goes to the flow of how the app works."

When asked where she thinks all this app-building might lead, she said - "I want to be an innovator to build things that people will love and make a difference in people’s lives through technology, so I think this is one of my first steps toward doing that".

The first web page went live on August 6, 1991. Since then, the internet has bestowed upon us its wealth of information - that can be accessed anywhere, anytime. Everyone and everything is constantly connected, and with this connectivity, digital intelligence has grown rapidly thanks to increasing access to global data.

Information and logic can be accessed equally by engineers in Nasa and rural farmers in Nigeria. Combine that with innovations such as AI and deep learning, the pillars of old learning model are beginning to shake.

The old approach does not equip learners or employees to effectively deal with a world where technology can do what people do, better, faster and with no errors. It’s time to take a radical approach to education and start teaching people how to do rather than how to learn.
