Haskell for High Schoolers: Paradigm Conference!

Here's a quick announcement today, aimed at those younger Haskellers out there. If you're in middle school or high school (roughly age 18 and below), you should consider signing up for Paradigm Conference this coming weekend (September 23-25)! This is a virtual event aimed at teaching younger students about functional programming.

The first day of the conference consists of a Hackathon where you'll get the chance to work in teams to solve a series of programming problems. I've been emphasizing this sort of problem solving a lot in my streaming sessions, so I think it will be a great experience for attendees!

On the second day, there will be some additional coding activities, as well as workshops and talks from speakers, including yours truly. Since I'll be offline the whole weekend, my talk will be pre-recorded, but it will connect a lot of the work I've been doing in the last couple of months with respect to Data Structures and Dijkstra's algorithm. So if you've enjoyed those series independently, you might enjoy the connections I try to make between these ideas. This video talk will include a special offer for Haskell newcomers!

So to sign up and learn more, head over to the conference site, and start getting ready!
