A giant forward step in the technology development:
THOMAS SUAREZ(12 years old boy) developed apps for the i-phones :
Most 12-year-olds love playing videogames — but 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.
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.
HE SAID,"The future of education should include programming as a major subject. The class will allow students to collaborate on code, teach each other, and communicate outside of the classroom using services such as Google+. This way, students will think more during other classes, be much more likely to get a job and, most important, have fun.”
Thomas Suarez is a sixth grade student at a middle school in the South Bay. Since before Tom started kindergarten he’s been fascinated by computers and technology. Recently, he has been focused on the development of applications for the iPhone, and establishing his own company, CarrotCorp. CarrotCorp sells four mobile applications for the iOS platform – two are free and two others sell for $0.99 each. His most successful app is one he terms “an anti-Justin-Bieber game” called “Bustin Jieber”. Tom explains that this game is like Whac-a-Mole. The game lets users “whack Justin Bieber” when he moves to a different random location on the screen – he moves every fifth of a second. The gave allows more than one player to play over Game Center, and players can talk together while playing via Voice Chat.
