U.S. Marine Corps Maj. Gen. Christopher Cortez (Retired), Vice President of Microsoft Military Affairs, discusses the first Microsoft Corporation YouthSpark Live seminar, at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, California, March 22, 2018. Service members' children who attend schools on base, were afforded the opportunity to learn many aspects of computer science during the seminar. The event signified the first time that Microsoft brought its program to a military base. YouthSpark was created to afford children opportunities to learn the many aspects of computing, with a priority focus on computer science education, and inspiring young people to pursue a career enabled by technology.
