These kids today...

I went to De La Salle High School in New Orleans. I am a computer scientist today because I took a BASIC programming class in high school. It was taught by our math teacher. I saved my programs as holes punched on paper tape. While on the computer, time flew by. I knew this would be a good way to spend 8 hours a day. Little did I dream it would some day become 13. :-)

High schools have advanced way beyond paper tape. What a great gift for the Labs team. Thanks for your feedback Jack. I am delighted that potential computer scientists of tomorrow are getting exposure to new technologies today. Autodesk Labs is proud to do its part.
