The Girls Code Lincoln Podcast

Each month hosts Elsbeth Magilton (Girls Code Lincoln board president) and Aakriti Agrawal (co-founder and operations director) profile a historical woman in STEM and introduce listeners to a coder, engineer, or scientist in the Midwest. Girls Code Lincoln is a community organization in Lincoln Nebraska that teaches 4th-9th graders coding and confidence through free weekly clubs, as well as public events to promote technology literacy across the community. This podcast is great for family listening in the car and is probably most interesting to kids over 9 and into adulthood. Content is always appropriate for all ages. Our theme music is 'Then it Went Like' by Grace Mesa. Lysandra Marquez is our producer.

Aakriti Agrawal

As a data and insurance nerd, during the week, I help internal departments manage data effectively at Ameritas, a mutual insurance company based out of Lincoln, Nebraska. As a self-taught computer programmer, on the weekends, I lead a grassroots nonprofit, Girls Code Lincoln, that bridges the gender gap in technology by teaching a diverse group of middle school girls how to computer program through fun and creative custom curriculum.

Overall, I look for interesting and innovative ways to use my skills and knowledge to better our communities. My passions include data, technology, insurance, enterprise risk management, front end development, and minority education.
