Creating Student 'Appreneurs' with Alefiya Master Jan 25, 2023

Show notes

Kids today are more than just digital natives, “They’re mobile first,” observes our guest, Alefiya Master—a former teacher and the founder and CEO of MAD-learn. “That’s the first device that they learn how to use before they get to a computer. So let’s use that hook. Let’s leverage that hook to enable them to come into the computer science world, come into the world of creating as opposed to just consuming.”

An introduction to computer science goes beyond opening up career opportunities for students. It helps them better understand the technology with which they interact on a daily basis, and it can open them up to a new world of creativity and problem-solving. These opportunities can serve as cornerstones in helping students develop their growth mindsets. Throughout this episode, we discuss how app development can be used as a way to hook students into computer science and help them develop transferable, lifelong skills.
