Thank you Aki for reading my book and recommending it to other parents! Aki 💙💛

Thank you Rafael for trying the Squishy Circuits/Paper Circuits project with your son! I think the best part is how you were telling me he was inventing his own projects!

Thank you Mark⚡️Heckler 🤖🛩️ for your thoughts on my book, Raising Young Coders! It's not just about learning how to code, it's about why it matters and how to make it fun! ✨

Thank you for buying my book Luca Molteni! Excited to see what creative ideas your kid will come up with.

So excited my Apress Raising Young Coders book has reached #6 in Computer Graphics on Amazon! ✨

🎙️ I am announcing a new video series I am doing to support my Raising Young Coders book. Sandeep Kanabar is the co-chair of the CNCF Deaf and Hard of Hearing Working Group. "Always face the Deaf person, not the interpreter, when speaking." youtube.com/watch?v=srGnFK… #KubeCon

Thank you, Aki 💙💛, for helping to spread the word about my Raising Young Coders book by posting your review on Medium!

🎙️ I interviewed Melissa McKay at KubeCon. She shares what it’s been like supporting her two kids on completely different paths, one diving into tech through CNCF Kids Day and Roblox workshops, the other exploring passions outside of coding. youtu.be/P1tpPslN-KM?fe…

I interviewed Kat Cosgrove at KubeCon!💬 From building PCs to cosplay to Kubernetes, her story shows how geeky hobbies can lead to a thriving tech career.👩‍💻🎮🚀 If you love open source, gaming, or DIY tech, this one’s for you.👾💻 youtu.be/mlYlLfxBIrw?fe…

Had the honor of speaking with ✨Nyah Macklin, Sr. Dev Advocate at Neo4j , about their path from Afro-Am Studies to tech via Resilient Coders . 🌱💻 We talk AI ethics, non-binary inclusion, bootcamps & more. 🏳️‍🌈🎥👇 youtu.be/Na5aIi0BhNQ?fe…

Think open source is just for coders? 💻 Think again. I spoke with Hilary Carter 🇨🇦🇮🇪🇬🇧 of the The Linux Foundation about how non-coders drive innovation in open source, from film to phone, and why your GitHub might matter more than your résumé. 🎥👇 youtu.be/dW1TsLTfSPE?fe…

I spoke with CNCF Ambassador William Rizzo about teaching kids to code through play, curiosity, and open source. 🐍💡 From Python with his daughter to workshops aspirations in NL, it’s a thoughtful look at how we make tech education more fun. 🎙️ youtu.be/yLrcoQeTl_c?si…

💡 Can early tech exposure help close the gender gap in STEM? I spoke with Tom Manville of Veeam® Software about how starting young, especially for girls, can spark lasting change in tech. youtu.be/33_LGdgt3HI?si…

Just sat down with Ivan Zupancic 🎙️ to chat about his unique tech journey, family influences, and how events like #KubeCon & DevOps Days Ljubljana (which he organizes) can be life-changing—personally and professionally. 🚀 youtu.be/KBWLgB4WMUQ?si…

It was my first time speaking at #JJUGCCC. The Japanese translated version of my Phippy's AI Friend book was popular (thanks Aki 💙💛 🥰). I loved the Duke Ninjas for branding and attendee T-Shirt. 🥷 Phippy's AI Friend Japanese version: amazon.co.jp/dp/1963994035/

All ready for my book signing for Raising Young Coders at WeAreDevelopers Berlin! 🖊️🤖 I will also be giving a session to inspire parents to introduce their kids to tech in a fun way. Apress StickerApp

🎙️ It was great speaking with Rafael del Nero about my new Raising Young Coders book with Apress. 📖 This was the longest deep dive conversation I have ever done (almost 2 hours!) and I hope my teaching advice on kids and tech reaches many Java developers ☕👾

I was thrilled to have the opportunity to speak at WeAreDevelopers Berlin 🇩🇪 last week. I was suprised how many eager developers came to learn about how they can introduce technology to their kids! I also had a book signing for my Raising Young Coders book.
