Bill Gates- Change Maker Category- Technology **__ Profile __** I, Bill Gates was born on 28th October 1955 in Seattle, Washington to William H. Gates, Sr. and Mary Maxwell Gates. My family was in the upper middle class. I am 55 years old now. I am one of the world’s wealthiest people. I have one elder sister, Kristi (Kristianne), and one younger sister, Libby. I went to Lakeside school when I was 13. I was very interested in programming computers in grade 8 when our school got the computers. It was a privilege that I got excused from math class to pursue my interest. I really like to use computers. I graduated from lakeside school at 1973. I scored 1590 out of 1600 on the SAT and enrolled at Harvard College at 1973. I didn’t get to graduate from my college because I was very interested in programming the computers. **__ Achievements __** One of my biggest achievements was Microsoft (as people know it). I developed the Altair BASIC until it is called Microsoft. In the past people had to type codes on the computer. Not open up and write anything we want right away. This makes our lives easier. Over 500 people in the world use it. If we don't have microsoft we would have to type in code which would make our lives very hard.

This is an example of Altair BASIC: INPUT "What is your name: ", UserName$ PRINT "Hello "; UserName$ DO INPUT "How many stars do you want: ", NumStars Stars$ = STRING$(NumStars, "*") PRINT Stars$ DO INPUT "Do you want more stars? ", Answer$ LOOP UNTIL Answer$ <> "" Answer$ = LEFT$(Answer$, 1) LOOP WHILE UCASE$(Answer$) = "Y" PRINT "Goodbye "; UserName$

**__ IB Learner Profile __** Thinker- I think and achieve what I am interested of. (Programming) Knowledgeable- I know a lot about programming. Communicator- I communicate with people (my partner) such as Paul Allen
