About Event

When Greg Bulmash launched Seattle CoderDojo, a nonprofit that teaches code to kids, he described it to his manager at Microsoft as "a startup that sells free awesome." The first six months after launch were chaotic by normal standards: finding a kid-friendly location, managing a parent's wrath after one volunteer made a kid cry, and even trusting a volunteer to run the group after his wife needed to go to the hospital. Join us as Greg shares the humble beginnings of one of the most beloved community organizations in Puget Sound.

ABOUT OUR GUEST

Greg Bulmash is a Solutions Architect with Amazon Alexa Skills Kit Developer Relations, where he creates talks, tutorials, and code to help developers create and improve their Alexa Skills. This year he celebrates the 25th anniversary of his first web site, the 40th of his first Hello World, and the 7th of starting Seattle CoderDojo, a volunteer group that runs STEAM learning meetups for kids!
