New, shiny technology is always tempting to work on. But as a developer, how can you better understand where exactly this technology should be applied? Once you've understood where it should be applied, how can you go about doing that with the least ceremony possible, keeping only the essence? What are some of the common challenges that you'll face as you apply the technology, and how can you work around them? For example, how can you mitigate bias in machine learning systems? How can you respect user privacy but still personalize their experience with an application?

Covering microprocessors, compilers, machine learning, quantum computing, blockchain, IoT, Cloud, etc.

Developers solve the world's problems with technology. Without developers, the average human's life today would be totally different - and most certainly, a lot more inconvenient, unsafe, and generally filled with less potential. However, developers need to deal with more and more complex technology and larger codebases and projects. This makes development difficult - so how can developers create tooling to make the lives of other developers easier? And how can developers use these sets of tooling to enable a more productive workflow?

Covering machine learning, quantum, blockchain, IoT, etc. on humanity.

What kind of societal impact will the technologies brought upon by the fourth industrial revolution have? What will AI, Quantum Computing, Blockchain, IoT, etc., do to our everyday lives? Will it be good or bad? How can we ensure that the development of this technology doesn't fall in the wrong hands?

Contrary to what many people think, the true goal of STEAM education is not to put more emphasis on areas like Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, or Mathematics at the expense of other subjects. Rather, the idea is quite different: it's that modern education is simply ineffective thanks to the method of teaching employed. Currently, subjects are mostly taught in a "silo-ed" manner. If you're learning math, or science, or technology, you're learning just one subject. However, that's not the way we learn - we learn best when we can relate to what we're being taught. The best way to do this is to dismantle the subject silos and intertwine the education of these individual subjects. By doing this, students can derive the maximum value from what they're learning and gain real experience doing it, instead of just memorizing content for a single topic.
