E19: Building Technologists - Tech Opportunities for Rural Schools

Mike and I talk about the need to build technologists to fuel the high-tech economy in Ohio. The demand for technologists is growing, but many of the kids in our K-12 school districts are being left behind because their schools struggle to either find funding or to find qualified faculty for tech training programs. We discuss some of the projects being created to address these challenges, including my project called Making Software Makers, which is a platform that teaches kids how to build cool things with code.
