  • A really great tech breakdown pod!

    Don’t let the name fool you. It’s not a podcast with an AI host or that is pushing AI on folks. It’s a great tech breakdown pod that my students love listening to in the morning with me.

    I found this show from the ‘Teachers Passing Notes” podcast and it’s great! Thank you! Keep it up!

  • Helpful for adults

    Started listening to “AI for Kids” as a foundation in my toolbox to better understand artificial intelligence, coding and anything relating to the tech world. I’m very appreciative this podcast exists. Granted it’s geared towards children but it is helping me close the gap in this ever evolving world.
