Dr Mayuree Srikulwong
University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce, Thailand
Leading the next class of business leaders.
Growing up in rural Thailand, Dr Srikulwong learnt early on how to create opportunities for herself to succeed. She worked in multiple jobs while studying for her computer science degree — without even having access to a computer. Now, as a professor, she is mentoring Thailand’s budding entrepreneurs. Dr Srikulwong uses iPad Pro to teach computational thinking and help her students solve real problems in the community.
After students conduct their own research with iPad, Dr Srikulwong shows them how to use Swift Playgrounds to design apps that solve the local challenges they’ve discovered. The app includes interactive coding puzzles and playgrounds that provide instant visual feedback, so students can see the outcomes of their ideas immediately and explore different paths to creating positive change.
