Ricardo Queirós

I'm Ricardo Queirós, a Computer Science PhD and Adjunct Professor, with a passion for making coding education both engaging and effective. I’ve spent years researching how to make learning programming languages less of a headache - ideally even fun - by using gamification and innovative e-learning systems. I even created a friendly playground (AGNI) to help both teachers and students navigate the world of code without losing their sanity. Plus, I organize the world’s first conference dedicated solely to teaching programming (ICPEC). With over 200 books and scientific publications under my belt, I’m serious about this mission! When I’m not busy with work, you can find me running along the banks of the Douro River in the vibrant and beautiful city of Porto. And when I need a change of scenery, I’m off exploring new travel destinations - always up for the next adventure and with a smile on my face!
