Closing the digital divide with Vivian Chandra

Vivian Chandra is a tech consultant with a huge difference. Her passion for education and democratising digital technology means she spends much of her time upskilling teachers in Aotearoa New Zealand so that they can teach kids essential tech skills.

In our conversation, we talk about:

• Why diversity and inclusion in tech is important to her
• How to use play doh to teach electronics
• One of the biggest misunderstandings about children and their use of technology
• How to encourage more digital fluency for your kids - and why that’s important
• How learning Te Reo Māori helped her explore her own cultural identity
