All this week we’ve been focused on kids and technology. In our last discussion on the topic, we’re talking about Black Girls Code. The national movement comes to Chicago next week, with an event for 50 girls ages 7 to 14. Three of the people involved join us to discuss: Thoughtworks’ Jen Stilly and Tracy Dantley, and Demond Drummer from Teamwork Englewood. Thoughtsworks, by the way, is a software development consultancy with a social bent.
