After participating in a coding boot camp in California, Alan Mabry was hooked on the idea of teaching and mentoring students to upgrade their skills and bring new products and ideas to life. Shortly after this experience, he moved back to Pittsburgh invigorated and excited to get started on his new business idea. In 2018, Alan Mabry, Josh Studl, and Sean Bailey founded Upstream Coding with the fundamental premise that programming, coding, and web development should be affordable and accessible to all who wish to learn. Each of the co-founders brought a unique set of skills and experiences to the partnership, which has fueled their growth and success since starting the company. Their initial education model was a hybrid of online and in-person courses, which was a key differentiator here in the Pittsburgh market.Over the past two years, Alan, Josh, and Sean have adapted to a rapidly changing marketplace, and their business model has changed as a result. They now offer online courses through a membership model that they call the “orbit” framework, which allows students at any level to join the revolving curriculum without being restricted by rigid start and end dates. They’ve also modified their platform so that it can be used to test the technical skills and proficiency of potential job candidates for employers. And most recently, they are planning to link their courses with an educational institution in order to reach a wider population of students who wish to learn coding skills.If you have any questions or if you’d like to chat, you can reach me at my contact info below. The purpose of this podcast is to share ideas, inspire action, and build a stronger small business community here in Pittsburgh.

After going through different careers paths in Psychology to Cultural Anthropology, she sought after a greater challenge for herself through Data Science. Afterwards, she went on to found CodeOp, Barcelona’s first coding school specifically for women and non-binary people.  CodeOp’s mission is to provide resources and support for women wanting to educate themselves remotely on coding. Katrina hopes for CodeOp to become the first international coding school for womxn.  Katrina’s personal path was nonlinear, but throughout the journey she collected different skills along the way. This episode, she talks to us about the power of remote learning, the constant search for knowledge and listening to your passions when they are calling out to you.  To learn more about Katrina, check her out on LinkedIn and visit coreop.tech for more on her company.

Not only has the school consistently created exceptional talent in the field of software development, but it has done so without any professor holding a lecture in front of their students... It is all done purely through Peer-to-peer learning. Because according to Kwame his students learn best by learning the knowledge "by creating the knowledge yourself." In this podcast you will get a deep insight into how the school works and which principles the educational system is governed. Find out what makes the difference between a student who learns from an expert and who then applies it to the real world or a student who explores a field on his own and then becomes a true MASTER. Find out... 1. Why our current education has been working so well during the time of industrialization but why we will face many challenges getting into the digital age 2. Which massive barriers Kwame and his team had to overcome despite being funded by famous french billionaire Xavier Neil 3. Why the principles of 42 cannot just be applied to any other field 4. Ideas on how École 42 could help solve climate change 5. Why in 2100 we might be facing the biggest crisis humanity ever faced (greater than climate change?!)

In this episode, I catch up with Audrey Cheng, the founder of Moringa School.We first did an interview in October of 2016, and so it had been over 2.5 years since we last spoke.The initial episode is called "Coding Schools", and so be sure to scroll back through the archives to give it a listen, if you're interested.Moringa School is still going strong, and now has a presence in Rwanda, as well as having taught over 1,500 students.The fundamentals remain the same - providing a relevant skill set to people entering the workforce in emerging markets - and we chat about how the company has evolved recently.This includes expansion into different fields from just coding (such as data science), greater outreach (such as programmes for low-income students), partnerships they've brokered with international agencies, and how they are at the stage of codifying their culture for the next phase of expansion.We did this interview in a hotel lobby and so at times, you might hear some background noise from other tables.I hope, however, that this doesn't detract from what is a very interesting interview from the founder of a company clearly on an upward trajectory.READ MORE AT:https://theeastafricabusinesspodcast.com/2019/10/17/moringa-revisited-catching-up-with-audrey-cheng-on-the-coding-schools-international-expansion/

Indianapolis is turning into a hotbed for technology and startups. In 2016, 43 technology companies committed to add over 5,000 full-time jobs. These tech jobs pay twice the median average wage. Two-thirds of the $77 million in 2016 venture capital in Indiana companies went to technology companies (three-quarters of all companies who received VC) and since 2000, $7 billion in acquisitions and IPOs from more than 2 dozen companies has materialized. According to SmartAsset, Indy is ranked the 4th best city for women in tech for gender pay gap, income after housing costs, and women as a percentage of the technology workforce and four-year tech employment growth. Kenzie Academy is a tech apprenticeship school, pioneering a new model in education.

Most business is about matching demand with supply. From her work as a Venture Capitalist talking to businesses about what would help them grow, Audrey found that resoundingly the answer was “tech talent”. Investigating the options available to students wanting to learn these skills, she found they were sub par. Moringa School is addressing the need by providing world class education in how to build apps at an affordable cost. We discuss the innovative teaching methodologies that they adopt, ways of breaching the skills gap in Kenya, and prospects for taking these vocational based higher education alternatives across the continent and into different skills. Our interview was on the balcony outside of their office and so it gets a little windy at times, but either way, I hope you enjoy.
