Teaching Coding to the Community with a Small Business, with Amy Pirzada The K12 Engineering Education Podcast

Amy Pirzada started My Coding Place as an educational business focused on
teaching coding to kids in Austin. But she soon expanded to teach chess, game
design, 3D modeling, 3D printing, and more technical topics in problem-solving
to wider audiences. She talks about the mission of her entrepreneurial business,
how to teach kids programming effectively, the right tech tools for teaching
kids of different ages, and her goals for the business and possibly a future
nonprofit.
