Main Talk: You were an engineer before you knew it!
Presented by: Mohube Tumisho Makgeru

This talk is about diving into everyday examples of being a software engineer. I believe people often think that being a software engineer is an abstract and far concept, one that takes years to master while in actuality everyday of their lives they are engineering solutions without even thinking about it. I would like to show people through different fundamental computer science concepts how they are constantly engineering solution to difficult problems.
