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!

๐ŸŽ™๏ธ I interviewed Melissa McKay at KubeCon. She shares what itโ€™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?feโ€ฆ

Think open source is just for coders? ๐Ÿ’ป Think again. I spoke with Hilary Carter ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง 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 rรฉsumรฉ. ๐ŸŽฅ๐Ÿ‘‡ youtu.be/dW1TsLTfSPE?feโ€ฆ

๐ŸŽ™๏ธ It was great speaking with Rafael del Nero about my new Raising Young Coders book with Apress. ๐Ÿ“– 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 โ˜•๐Ÿ‘พ

I was thrilled to have the opportunity to speak at WeAreDevelopers Berlin ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช 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.
