Tinkercast Powers Up With Girls Who Code
We’re thrilled to be collaborating with Girls Who Code, an organization whose mission is to inspire, educate, and equip girls with the computing skills to become change agents in their communities. Our Tinkercast podcasts make learning complicated topics easy and fun.

Be sure to check out our entire AI podcast episode collection that will have you saying A-I-A-I-Oh Wow!
