"Let people twist, turn, and break your product a little — that's where the magic happens."In this special ScanAgile 25 edition, hosts Jim and Sander sit down with Linda Liukas — renowned author, educator, and playground designer — for a rich conversation about creativity, risk, resilience, and the future of learning and public spaces.Linda shares her journey from writing Hello Ruby to designing cutting-edge computer science-themed playgrounds that challenge how we think about education, risk-taking, and play. Together, they explore the parallels between playgrounds and workplaces, how organizations can foster real innovation (hint: it's not about micromanaging), and why letting people "own" a product or process leads to bigger impacts.Whether you're a leader, educator, or innovator, this episode will spark ideas about autonomy, growth, and designing environments — both physical and cultural — where people can thrive.Connect with Linda: (27) Linda Liukas | LinkedInCheck out our sponsor:www.xebia.comwww.scrummatch.comwww.wiserbees.comwww.masteringagility.orgHosted by Ausha.

Understanding the workings of computers, coding, and technological infrastructure is one of the most imperative skills of the 21st century. Even more important then is to introduce children to such concepts. But how? – With the award winning children's book series Hello Ruby, our guest Linda Liukas rethinks how to convey computer education in an approachable yet equally compelling manner.In our side quests, we talk about the demise and potential future of Google Stadia, the prison sentence for hacker Gary Bowser, and Russia's restrictions of gay and queer identities.Shownotes00:04:05 Computer Education (with Linda Liukas)00:33:28 Google is trying to salvage its failing Stadia game service with a new focus on striking deals with Peloton, Bungie, and others under the brand 'Google Stream' (Hugh Langley)00:43:46 Bowser sentenced to 40-month prison sentence for video game crimes (Igor Bonifacic)00:49:36 The Sims 4 wedding expansion won't release in Russia because of anti-gay law (Andy Chalk) Hosted on Acast.

COVID-19 has not only changed the way we work, but changed the way students go to school. Online classes has challenged the world’s educational system in delivering quality education to the next generation through technological tools.  With new uses of EdTech, what will the future classroom look like? Techsauce seeks the answer from Dr. Linda Liukas, a prominent author and illustrator of Hello Ruby and the founder of Rail Girls, a global movement to teach young women programing in over 260 cities.

That’s the view from Linda Liukas, a Finnish author and illustrator of a coding book for children called Hello Rubi, who joins our podcast. Linda works closely with teachers in Finland, and she argues that the secret sauce to the Finnish school system’s success has to do with a combination of their cultural heritage, teacher autonomy and creativity. As globalization and digitalization rapidly transform jobs and societies – especially now with the current COVID-19 pandemic – we need to invest in skills and competencies required for a new digital reality. But what will the new digital reality look like? And how are we going to equip our educational system and teachers for it?Host: Peter Mogensen, CEO of the Danish think tank, Kraka.Guests: Linda Liukas, Finnish Children’s book Author, Speaker and Founder of Hello Ruby and Anders Dons, Nordic CEO of Deloitte.

In this episode, we’re talking to Linda Liukas - Linda is the author and illustrator of Hello Ruby, a children’s picture book series about the whimsical world of computers, as well as the founder of Rails Girls, a global movement to teach young women programming in over 300 cities.Linda is a totally exceptional person. She’s originally from Helsinki, Finland. She’s created Kickstarter campaign for her book Hello Ruby in 2015 and this project totally went through the roof - by end she gathered more than $380.000 and of course her book Hello Ruby was a big hit. https://kidslab.dev/2019/12/23/hello-ruby-with-linda-liukas/

Linda Liukas is a Finnish programmer, author, illustrator and founder of Hello Ruby, an interactive and fun children’s book series about technology and computing. Launched on Kickstarter in 2014, the series is now published in 25 languages. Liukas also founded Rails Girls, teaching programming to young women in more than 300 cities, and here discusses why our view of life with computers isn’t more hopeful.

We are joined this week by author Linda Liukas, who created a wonderful series of children’s books called Hello Ruby. Linda got the idea for her books while learning computer programming herself and describes her books as “the world’s most whimsical way to learn about technology, computing and coding.” Linda also founded Rails Girls http://railsgirls.com, which organizes workshops to teach the basics of programming to girls and women. She joined us to talk about Ruby, her books and a brand-new YouTube series, Love Letters for Computers, that goes hand-in-hand with the Hello Ruby books. In this episode we talk about: 1. Whimsicality! Linda and her Ruby books are proof that computer science and whimsical things are not mutually exclusive! 2. A universal desire to expose our kids to the technological world- her books have been translated into 28 different languages and are used by parents and teachers all over the world. 3. How Ruby came to be. While studying some “dull” (Linda’s words!) programming textbooks at Stanford University, Linda began doodling a young girl in her books, thinking about how a six-year-old girl would explain the concepts to her. Thus Ruby was “born!” 4. Exploring the idea that programming could be taught through stories rather than concepts. “I do feel that there is value in having these strong characters that...the children will memorize and remember as they grow older. Maybe they don’t actually make the connection of how they relate to the world of technology...but they have this strong emotional feeling that, ‘oh techonology is something that I can feel fearless and curious about; that I feel welcome to. I think that is what books can do far better than apps and other ways to teach.” 5. Ruby is joined by a whole cast of characters that were inspired by different aspects of computers, like Ruby herself (Ruby is a Japanese programming language). While you don’t need to know the inspiration behind each character to enjoy the story, there are plenty of easter eggs for parents and teachers familiar with the tech world to find on each page! 6. Even though our kids are growing up surrounded by technology and start using it proficiently at a very young age, there is great value in teaching them (and ourselves if we are not familiar with it) about what goes into creating these things. “Kids who know how to play games are consumers of technology, not creators. The fact that they can use apps does not mean that they have some magical understanding of...computer science.” 7. We as parents do not need to be an expert on the subject when introducing our kids to new information, we can be more of a “curator.” 8. Studies are showing that kids, especially girls as young as 5 and 6 are already developing self-limiting ideas about who can or can’t be a computer scientist. 9. Coding may be touted as a useful skill, but it can also be beautiful and interesting and “intensely creative.” Linda believes that we need more materials that show the “practicality of engineering meeting...the beauty of [the] arts…” 10. While it wasn’t their intended purpose, the Ruby books are being used more and more as a teaching tool in classrooms, so Linda has created a YouTube series, Love Letters for the Computer, intended as a resource for primary school teachers, with plans of a book to go along with it in the future. Linda left us with a great idea of how to get started on putting these great ideas into practice this week. She invited us to check out the computer building activity https://www.helloruby.com/play/2  on the Hello Ruby website. We have done this with our own kids and we agree with Linda- it is a hit with kids of all ages and is a great activity to go along with the Hello Ruby books! We are so grateful to Linda for taking the time to talk with us! More information about her, her books, and more can be found in the following places: Instagram: @lindaliukas

Hello Ruby author Linda Liukas wants to inspire girls to code and seek opportunities in STEM fields.

“Code is the new lingua franca.”Linda Liukas, author of the popular “Hello Ruby” book series, started writing because she thought storytelling was missing from computer science education. Although coding is an overarching theme in the books, her writing is not exclusively about coding. Linda has a great admiration for famous educators like Piaget, and she has a mission to prepare kids for a world where so many of the problems that they encounter are computer-related. She points out that computers are tools for self-expression and problem solving. In her opinion, computers are abstract machines and most of all, technology is built on humanity.

Hello Ruby -lastenkirja on käännetty jo 25:lle kielelle ja maailma näyttää koodauslähettiläs Linda Liukkaan silmin olevan täynnä mahdollisuuksia. Linda mittaa menestystään perinteisestä poikkeavilla tavoilla, mutta millaisia epätoivon hetkiä hän on kokenut? Entä kuinka huijarisyndrooma käännetään voitoksi?

Er zijn steeds meer initiatieven om kinderen spelenderwijs te leren programmeren of in ieder geval de principes erachter te leren. Van speelgoedfabrikanten tot startups met crowdfundingprojecten initiatieven genoeg. Maar welke rol speelt het onderwijs en hoe belangrijk is dit überhaupt? Deze week praten Elger van der Wel en Stan Hulsen daarover in een verse Rush Talk. Aanvullende leesvoer: - Stan interviewde Linda Liukas, de schrijfter van Hello Ruby: http://numrush.nl/2016/04/12/linda-liukas-we-moeten-kinderen-beter-voorbereiden-op-de-technologie/ - De Saxion Hogeschool in Enschede onderzoekt het gebruik van LEGO in het onderwijs: http://numrush.nl/2016/04/11/saxion-lego-education-toekomst-van-onderwijs/ - De programmeerbare rups van Fisher Price: http://numrush.nl/2016/01/06/fisher-price-presenteert-rups-die-kinderen-leert-programmeren/ - De programmeerbare robot Root van Harvard: http://numrush.nl/2016/04/19/harvard-robot-root-leert-kinderen-stapsgewijs-programmeren/ Meer informatie over Rush Talk vind je op numrush.nl/rushtalk

Een speciale gast uit Finland in de podcast deze keer: Linda Liukas, oprichter van Rails Girls en maker van het kinderboek Hello Ruby. Dat boek vertelt een sprookje over programmeren voor jongens en meisjes vanaf 5 jaar. Duizenden euro's verdienen met gamen, dat dat kan is niet nieuw, maar hoe ziet het leven van zo'n gamer eruit? Bas Tooms volgde een Nederlandse gamer voor NRC en moest er zelfs voor naar Berlijn. En een Nederlands drone-raceteam staat in de finale van de eerste grote drone-prix in Dubai. Prijzengeld: 230.000 euro. Lars Dellemann sprak met ze voor NOS op 3.

Linda Liukas identifies more with being a children’s author than a developer. That might be because she’s spent a good amount of time helping others learn to code than actually coding herself. She used to work for Codecademy, started Rails Girls, and most recently launched a Kickstarter campaign for a book introducing programming to children. The campaign blew past it’s $10K goal, and reached over $380K. Linda talks to us about drawing and writing the book, Hello Ruby, and what she’s learned about the coding journey as she helps kids start their own.
