Inspiring the Tech Leaders of the Future

Inspiring the Tech Leaders of the Future

Jeni Trice is founder of Get with the Program (GWTP), an award-winning social enterprise on a mission to inclusively inspire the tech innovators of the future – so today’s children can one day lead the way in solving the world’s biggest challenges.

Their unique mix of storytelling and performance teaches children coding concepts through interactive theatre, taking them on an exciting, engaging journey. Each coding adventure is fully aligned with the computing curriculum, and with a focus on diversity and inclusivity, smashing stereotypes around gender and ethnicity along the way.

To date, Get with the Program has reached over quarter of a million children, has won two Learning Excellence Awards for Education and a Careers Champion Award for Innovation.

In this episode we talk about inspiring the tech leaders of the future, our future generations. Providing turning points, cultivating curiousity and enthusiasm for children, teachers, and women who want to get into digital.

This is a topic that we are both passionate about, so take a listen and I hope you'll be inspired too.
