The Impact of Creativity: Sahil Kumar

After his father’s death when he was six years old, Sahil Kumar was taken into a hostel in New Dehli, India. While in 9th grade, Adobe Youth Voices came to his school and encouraged him to explore his creative capacity – a turning point that led him to an AYV scholarship to further his study in graphic design and become one of the few Adobe Certified Associates in his city. Hear how Sahil intends to use his mastered skills to better his life, teach young kids at his former hostel, and raise awareness about a cause he cares very deeply about: the effects of alcoholism in his community.

Adobe’s Youth Coding Initiative: Girls Who Code

16 year old Geraldine Agredo came to New York from Colombia when she was nine. A student at the Young Women’s Leadership School in Astoria, a neighborhood in Queens, she didn’t touch a computer until she came to the United States. Geraldine was inspired to program by a speaker who came to her school, and got involved with Girls Who Code through her teacher. In 2014, she and her coding classmates won an MIT Club of New York award for their recycling game, Green Code. Geraldine believes programming and creativity go hand in hand, and is excited to major in computer science to make a better world. Girls Who Code is a partner of Adobe’s Youth Coding Initiative, an effort to bring computer science education to girls and under-represented youth.
