Parents and children have expressed their concerns about future careers in the webinar. Some interesting questions have been raised and answered carefully by guest speakers..

When should children start to be oriented about their careers?

The answer is from secondary school to high school. By that time, children already exhibit their talents and interests in specific subjects. Those will help parents and students have an idea to start planning out.

Why should children own technology skills? What majors or careers are techs applied to?

Technology influences all majors, from normal life to advanced research, education, medicine, business, and agriculture to manufacturing. In addition to making life more convenient, technology is the key.

Why should children choose majors that relate to technology in the 4.0 Era? 

We shall soon be dealing with the Industrial Revolution 5.0. This is the time when "artificial intelligence" will rule the world. Particularly, robots and technology are gradually taking over repeated jobs, and even some creative jobs. Therefore, as a smart move, parents should instruct their children to find employment that is suitable for them and have significant promotion chances.

When is the best time to start learning to code?

At Algorithmics, children can start learning to code at any age from 5-17 years old. Algorithmics’ courses are designed to match children's psychological development stages and individual learning styles. The sooner children approach coding and practice technology skills, the easier they will be able to integrate into the world. 

Famous technological schools throughout the world and their standards for entrance

Common entrance requirements of universities that Parents and children can refer to is AR, (which is known as Acceptance Rate):

• The University of Cambridge, Computer Science major: A+ A+ A Offer and 21%AR 
• The University of Oxford, Materials Sciences major: A+ A A (including math and physical) and 28%AR
• Imperial College London, Computing major(Ai and machine): A+ A A and 14%AR
• University of Warwick, Computing and Management Sciences major: A A A (including math) and 14%AR

How Will Technology Skill Highlight Students’ Applications To Study Abroad? 

The essential elements of a student's application are personal essays, diplomas, and other credentials. Students might describe their technology skills in their personal essays. By doing that, they can impress the admissions officer and increase their chances of winning the scholarship. The essay will receive a higher grade if it is more thorough, understandable, and well-organized.
