Key Takeaways:
💻The podcast episode discusses the difference between kids being consumers and producers of technology. It highlights the importance of teaching kids to be producers, as many kids may only know how to use technology but not understand how it works behind the scenes.
💻Stephen Saunders runs an online school called Mytek Labs, where kids can take programming, technology, and 3D modeling courses. The focus is on teaching kids the fundamentals of various topics in technology.
