Making Tech a basic skill along with reading, writing and math
The tech industry is heavily saturated by men, but that doesn’t matter to Monika Katkute, founder and CEO at Teachers Lead Tech. In the beginning Monika had created a successful and highly sought-after kids after school club. But she knew that in order to scale the club, it wasn’t more bodies needed, but technology.
Rewarded with a grant from Google, she’s built a system that empowers teachers to help build their skills and teach tech to primary schools aged children in Lithuania and abroad. Join me as I chat with the wonderful Monika Katkute and have some laughs as we discover what silly thing makes her cry, the biggest obstacle she had to overcome when launching Teachers Lead Tech and more.
