Modern Figures Podcast

As a former coding teacher who taught block coding to elementary and middle school students, I’ve seen the power which comes from learning the skill of coding, especially for English second language learners. And this field definitely needs more diversity, and if we can get more people and kids of all colors inspired to jump into technology, then the world will be a more balanced and equal place! Thanks for providing such a needed platform to show people of color more and better opportunities in our world! This podcast truly has such a positive impact.

Excellent podcast. Very informative and inspiring.

I lead the Rigor and Equity research agenda at CSforALL, and in my work with K-12 children across the US and abroad, being able to make relatable role models visible and real to students, especially students of color and young women, is critically important. I can’t recommend this podcast enough to CS and other STEM educators working to make careers real for their children. You can’t be what you can’t see—I’m grateful to the hosts for helping our students to see a whole lot more!

While I expected to learn a lot from this podcast, I did not expect it to be so funny and refreshingly relatable! The hosts are both exceptional and 'normal' in so many ways. I look forward to hearing the voices of Modern Figures in the future.
