Deborah Carter: Will our kids just consume technology or reimagine it?
Deborah Carter is an education entrepreneur. Founder and Business Director of New Tech Kids and more recently, Managing Director and Initiator of Preparation Tech. Both enterprises share the aim of transforming children from passive technology users into tech builders and creators - making sure they are ready to be more than tech consumers, applying technology to shape the future.
Deborah made the leap into entrepreneurship in 2014 when she started New Tech Kids, an Amsterdam-based academy for after-school technology education. Since the lockdown, she has been creating content to educate adult influencers - those who play a role in helping kids move through education and make study choices. The Preparation Tech platform uses storytelling from diverse voices to showcase a wide variety of study, training and career paths that intersect with technology.
In this episode, I spoke with Deborah about the importance of mindsets and role models to imagine what futures are possible; and about the evolution of education and the possibilities of following a non-linear path. Deborah gives tips on how to inspire kids to not only consume, but to start developing technology and why you can’t start early enough when it comes to talking about ethics and tech.
