Description

New platforms are making innovation that once required wealthy investors possible for free! Join Joseph Paul Cohen of the University of Massachusetts Boston to learn about platforms that are revolutionizing the world of technology — Facebook, Twitter, Google, Instagram, etc. He'll begin with the current foundations of innovation, such as Linux, PHP, Python, Ruby, Java, and HTML5, and share how they're used to enable innovation without requiring wealthy investors. Will your students be the next start-up entrepreneurs?

Funding is provided for Massachusetts schools by the Lowell Institute.
