Thomas Suarez: A 12-year-old app developer talks at TED.com
Most 12-year-olds love playing videogames -- Thomas Suarez taught
himself how to create them. After developing iPhone apps like "Bustin
Jeiber," a whack-a-mole game, he is now using his skills to help other
kids become developers.
(Filmed at TEDxManhattanBeach.)
Thomas Suarez's interest in technology and programming led him to learn
Python, Java, and C “just to get the basics down.” He built an app and
then coaxed his parents into paying the $99 fee to get his app, "Earth
Fortune," in the app store. Thomas also started an app club at school
to help other kids build and share their creations, and is now starting
his own company, CarrotCorp.
