00:04

So, I'm from Guatemala.

00:07

This is a public service announcement,

00:09

that is where Guatemala is.

00:10

(Laughter)

00:13

Also, that is not where they keep the prisoners.

00:15

That is called Guantanamo.

00:17

(Laughter)

00:18

Not the same place.

00:20

So Guatemala's right below Mexico.

00:22

And for the Americans in the audience,

00:24

and let this sink in, because it really applies in most ways,

00:27

for the Americans in the audience,

00:29

you can think of it as Mexico's Mexico.

00:31

(Laughter)

00:33

Just like the US doesn't want illegal immigration from Mexico,

00:36

Mexico doesn't want illegal immigration from Guatemala.

00:39

It's a smaller country.

00:41

It's a poor country.

00:43

And well, what can I tell you,

00:45

it has much better Mexican food.

00:47

(Laughter)

00:51

Guatemala is a very poor country.

00:53

And a lot of people talk about education

00:56

as something that brings equality to different social classes.

00:59

But I always saw it as the opposite, as something that brings inequality.

01:02

Because what happens in practice

01:04

is that people who have a lot of money can buy themselves a really good education

01:07

and therefore continue having a lot of money.

01:10

Whereas people who don't have very much money

01:12

barely learn how to read and write

01:13

and therefore never make a lot of money.

01:15

And this is especially true in poor countries.

01:17

Now, I was fortunate that I received a rich person's education

01:21

even though I didn't grow up rich.

01:23

And it’s because I’m an only child.

01:25

And my mother, who was a single mother,

01:27

spent all of her resources on my education.

01:30

And this allowed me to come to college to the US

01:33

and eventually get a PhD in computer science.

01:36

Now because of all of this

01:39

about 10 years ago,

01:41

I decided I wanted to do something

01:42

that would give equal access to education to everyone.

01:46

Oh, by the way, this is what I want to talk to you about today,

01:49

giving equal access to education to everyone.

01:51

At the time, I was a professor of computer science

01:53

at Carnegie Mellon University,

01:55

and I decided to work on this with my PhD student, Severin.

02:01

The way my brain works,

02:02

all of education is just too general of a problem.

02:05

So I decided, let's start by teaching one thing.

02:08

And then I started thinking, OK, well, what should we teach first?

02:12

Should we teach math?

02:13

I mean, we both love math.

02:14

Me and my cofounder, we both love math.

02:16

And, you know, we didn't decide to do math.

02:19

Then we started thinking, well, maybe we should teach computer science.

02:23

But eventually, and this is maybe surprising to people in North America,

02:26

eventually, we decided that the best subject to start with

02:29

was teaching foreign languages.

02:31

And let me tell you why.
