"I believe, if we continue down the path we're currently on, yes, we can teach every young person to code. But I also think, that we're going to teach them that coding is something that's learned through memorization and that coding is something where there's one right answer." Zach offers a new perspective.

Zach Latta is the cofounder and executive director of Hack Club, where he works to bring coding clubs to high schools worldwide. Before Hack Club, he built the backend architecture for Yo – an app with more than 3 million users. Before that he helped launch and grow a game to over 1 million users, reaching #1 in the games category on the App Store.
