Keynote: Coding in 3D: How to Code Like a Girl
summary
Company story claims a 2015 Kickstarter and 10,000+ robots shipped to 30+ countries and shows a pivot from bracelets to low-cost science kits. Demonstration uses an Arduino Gemma badge stitched with conductive thread; live-coding sets pinMode, digitalWrite, delays and the LED blinks on stage so the hardware works. Historical points name Ada Lovelace and Grace Hopper as early programmers and argue toy marketing and access explain the later gender gap in coding.
