Speaker Linda Liukas is a programmer, a storyteller, and an illustrator. Her children’s book, Hello Ruby, is the world’s most whimsical way to learn about technology, computing, and coding.” She founded Rails Girls, which has organized workshops in more than 230 cities, introducing and teaching the basics of programming to more than 10,000 women. Liukas worked at Codeacademy. However, she left to write stories that teach children about both programming and software. In 2013 she won the Ruby Hero prize, and she was named the Digital Champion of Finland by the EU Commissioner for Digital Agenda.
Linda Liukas works with technology and media companies, educational institutions, governments, and museums. She talks about moving towards a more humane tech industry and identifying what it means to approach technology from a unique perspective. Through practical examples, her keynotes explore modern interpretations of the intersection between humanities and technology.

And how do we prepare our kids for a world where more and more of the problems around us look like computers?
To find out, we’ll travel back in time: from a jacquard loom maker with his punch cards, an inventor obsessed with cogs and steam, an electrical engineer who combined laws of electrical circuits with eccentric English mathematical logic, and countless other philosophers, material scientists, artists, dreamers, and tinkerers. Technology is about humans and big ideas.

Magic has entered our world. It’s in our pockets, anticipating our needs, thin and glossy and foreign. But it’s not the magic wand of Harry
