Episode Summary:1) You do not have to have it all figured out. You do not have to be the smartest or brightest. What you need to be is willing enough to go on the journey, persevere, be curious and have drive.2) Dr. Brown is REALLY SMART!!! LOL!!! Her story isn't a straight one of nerd for life (and there ain't nothing, NO THING, wrong with being a Nerd!!). She stayed true to herself at every level even while she was walking it out in real life.3) We talked about some of the instances of racial injustices from our past. It made me realize just how long we've been in this fight. Doesn't mean we give up; instead it means we acknowledge the past but fight for the future.4) I love, LOVE what she said about Scale of Impact!!! I'd not thought of the work that I do that way before. It was clarifying for me and I hope for you. What is the scale of your impact? How are you measuring it and what does it mean? Dr. Quincy Brown Bio:Quincy Brown, Ph.D., is a Program Director for STEM Education Research at the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). Her project portfolio includes the Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program and investigating innovations in Preservice STEM teacher education, investigating STEM mentoring practices, and supporting the AAAS Emerging Researchers National Conference.She was previously a Senior Policy Advisor in the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. There her portfolio included Agricultural Entrepreneurship, STEM Education, and the My Brother's Keeper STEM+Entrepreneurship initiatives.

Coding in Schools (0:00:00) Learning computer science is no easy task. Between complicated algorithms, high-level math, and brand-new terminology, coding feels like a completely different language. It can also be boring to learn. But computer science is becoming increasingly important in our economy and could be a great career path. So, what's stopping people –especially women and underrepresented youth –from pursuing an education in computer science? Well, the mission of Code.org, a nonprofit organization, is to make learning computer science more accessible and exciting for all kids. Joining us this morning is Jacki Reid, a Program Manager for Code.org and Director of CS Education at mindSpark Learning, here with us to talk about their work creating exciting coding lessons that engage young learners.   Imposter Syndrome (0:17:30) It's not uncommon for people –especially women –to doubt their accomplishments. This behavior is defined as Imposter Syndrome. Some refer to their success as “just good luck” or “good timing”. They struggle with an internalized fear of being exposed as a fraud. And everyone else is a fool for thinking they're anything but a fake. But, we're here to tell you that you're better, more intelligent, and more competent than you realize. But no matter what we, or anyone else tells you, only you can get rid of self-doubt. So here to discuss impostor syndrome, the ways it affects us, and how to manage it, is author of "The Secret Thoughts of Successful Women: Why Capable People Suffer from the Impostor Syndrome and How to Thrive in Spite of It", Dr. Valerie Young.   Parental Technology Control (0:33:18) If back in January someone had said that kids would be using the internet twice as much as they usually do this year, you might have thought, “Ha! Please, they're already on there all the time.” While that might have been an exaggeration then, it's true now. Our kids are on their devices ALL the time these days. School moved online, visits to grandparents have been replaced by skype calls, even movies are being released on the internet rather than in movie theaters. It's more important than ever that we know what are kids are doing on their devices and that we're teaching them to use them productively. But how much should we monitor or control their technology use? Here to help us out we've invited Sarah Kimmel onto the show. She's a digital parenting coach and family tech expert.   Cable vs. Streaming (0:52:48) If you're an HBO subscriber, you might have received some confusing emails lately about different streaming services they offer...HBO Now, HBO Go and now HBO Max. Why are there so many options, and why can't they all be included on one streaming service? Like HBO, new streaming platforms seem to pop up every other week—Hulu, Apple, Disney, Netflix, Sling, Philo, Fubo, and the list goes on. I don't have the time to sort through them all, and frankly, my wallet can't take it either. Luckily, we have streaming expert Bill Demas with us on the show today to talk us through it.   Becoming Bulletproof (1:10:33) Life is not for the faint of heart. Each day requires more resilience, more grit, and more fearlessness. This has never been truer than it is right now when every day we wake up to the news of the pandemic, quarantine, mask-wearing, or riots. Have you ever wondered how some people do it when you feel like running away and hiding in your closet? Evy Poumpouras served as a Secret Service agent to multiple presidents of the United States and has written a guide to help people live fearlessly called “Becoming Bulletproof: Protect Yourself, Read People, Influence Situations, and Live Fearlessly.” She knows what it means to face real danger with courage. We welcome her to the show today, and we're excited to learn how we too can live fearlessly.   Authentic Indian Food (1:28:30) I think for most people, comfort food is warm, hearty and flavor-packed. And in my mind, a specific cuisine that always fits that bill is Indian food! Today, we have a special treat for you, our listeners. We are speaking with one of India's most celebrated chefs, Ranveer Brar, to hear his journey in becoming a world-renowned chef, as well as to get tips on finding the most authentic Indian food around.

What would be the impact on the world if a Computer Science education was available to you completely free of charge until you get a job in that field paying $50,000 or more? That’s the question that drives Austen Allred and the team behind Lambda School. Lambda School is a revolutionary new school that invests in its students and they completely align their interests with their students. Seems like a novel idea, right? But Austen’s path to Silicon Valley was where things began for him, so that’s where we’ll start today’s conversation.

I was extremely honored to be invited by friends at CSTA-NYC to help produce a live episode of the show on the topic of Tech and Ethics. We called the event "Code of Ethics" and my thanks in particular to the kind and hardworking folks in the Audio-Visual department at Microsoft, NY, who hosted the event. Anil Dash is the CEO of Glitch, formerly Fogcreek Software, and host of Vox Media's new show on Tech and Society, Function, and long-time advocate for a more socially-minded technology sector, it's engineers, leadership, and the policy that structures (or doesn't) decisions about what gets made.Natasha Singer is a reporter for the NY Times Business Section, who covers Tech and has a special focus on accountability. And Brenda is a NYC Public School student who dreams of becoming a software engineer. She is a 1st generation Dominican-American and passionate about women in tech. This conversation was a journey into some of the most serious issues that all of us should be grappling with during Computer Science Education week. Thousands of events, big and small, are being logged globally tying into CS Education, but what could be more important than a step back to think about what, in the course of the conversation, we refer to as tech's "downstream effects."

We were at YouTube Space LA for Google’s FIRST Women’s Think Tank last month! It was keynoted by Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media CEO Madeline Di Nonno. Seeing so many women creators get together was ToTaLLy AwEsOmE (PiPeRiFiC, one might say! #GirlPower). This episode has an interview about Google’s own MadeWithCode.com, Code Girl (the movie about girls around the globe who are coding their own programs) and diversity with Julie Ann Crommett from Google’s CS Education in Media initiative. We also ran through Google’s YouTube Space LA to give you an idea of what it looks like and what it’s like to film there (complete with a stop by the Tech Cage and quick chat with Alex about the equipment)!  Yup, all the above is packed into into less than 4 minutes of Piper’s Picks TV!
