On Teaching Adults to Code (Kristin Bott, Posit) | posit::conf(2025)
On teaching adults to code
Speaker(s): Kristin Bott
Abstract:
Working with code can be deeply rewarding, but learning to code can be daunting; similarly, changing the code habits of a team may feel monstrous. For the last three years, the Posit Academy team has been working to teach adults to code in a way that sticks with individual learners, scales within organizations, and leaves individuals able to adapt in an evolving technological landscape. In this talk, I will share some lessons we’ve learned, speak to the importance of communities of practice, and provide actionable steps for effectively connecting learners and code.
