Today we're talking about working from home with kids in the age of Coronavirus where schools are closing down and many people are working from home. Today, two awesome entrepreneurs—Lisa and Erica—share their tips gleaned from many years of working from home with kids.   We talk about their tips, letting go of expectations, how to foster community during this pandemic, and free and fun online education resources for kids.  All recommendations and resources are linked in the show notes.   And one more thing…obviously everyone parents differently, so take what you find helpful and leave what you don't. And if all else fails, just know that I grew up watching Yu-Gi-Oh! and the Simpsons, and I think I turned out okay. :) Enjoy the episode!   FOLLOW OUR GUESTS Lisa on LinkedIn and Twitter Erica Peterson on Twitter Lisa's previous interview with me: 031 Blow Up Your Career & Redesign Your Life with Lisa Thee Erica's previous interview with me: 017 Moms Can Code (and Quit Apologizing)   LINKS TO WHAT WE DISCUSSED Stop, Breathe & Think Kids App Caribu: free and unlimited access during the COVID-19 pandemic Prodigy, Math Made Fun SitterCity Care.com Science Tots Virtual Programs for Kids Go Noodle Reading Eggs ABCya!

Abbey Rennemeyer interviews Erica Peterson, the founder of Moms Can: Code and Science Tots, and Founder Gym alumna.  Erica started her career in biology, but after being told that she should leave her graduate program once she became pregnant with her first child, she started to look for other options. Three years ago, inspired by her desire to understand how her children were learning, she founded Science Tots, a non-profit that helps introduce children to the world of STEM. And just over a year ago, Erica founded Moms Can: Code, an organization that helps mothers learn to code so they can both support their children's learning and open new doors for themselves. In 2018, Erica has been a South By Southwest accelerator pitch finalist, Project Entrepreneur finalist, and Startup of the Year semifinalist - so it's been a busy year for her! Erica is extremely active in her local community, and spends a great deal of her time helping people learn. Today, she'll tell us all about how she got into the tech world, how and why she became a founder, and why being a mom who codes is so awesome.

MEET BEKAH HAWROT WEIGEL After teaching in the humanities for ten years at the college level, Bekah’s life was hit with an unexpected trauma. While dealing with PTSD and recovery, Bekah was encouraged by her husband, a developer and live-streamer for Freecodecamp, to learn to code. She found that coding helped her manage her PTSD, and she was hooked after starting Flatiron School bootcamp and finding an amazing support system with Moms Can Code. She is the recipient of the Facebook + Flatiron School Breakthrough Scholarship, which she works on when she’s not taking care of her four children. She’s found that her background in teaching literature and writing screenplays has helped her approach to coding by deeply and methodically looking for meaning in the code. Her goals as she learns new skills are to teach others and to help them feel supported so they can move forward through the impossible. She’s fascinated by blockchain’s impact on the future of technology and has developed a thirty-day Blockchain Challenge for Moms Can: Code. You can find her chronicling her journey on her blog and through social media.
