Tech aficionados from around the world descended upon Miami Beach this week for the second annual eMerge Americas conference.  In between networking, discovering new innovations and sharing cutting-edge ideas, a topic that came up frequently was the need for education to prepare for this rapidly growing future in technology.  A new program at Miami Dade College, in partnership with Harvard and LaunchCode, aims to do just that, while bridging the tech talent gap in South Florida.

Jim McKelvey, Co-Founder of LaunchCode & Square
