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.
