On this episode, we speak with Richard Achee. Richard works in Strategic Partnerships at Google, and through Google’s Code Next initiative and a partnership with Rapport Studios, created an initiative called Python MC that uses hip-hop music to teach young people the basics of computer coding. We’ve seen it action several times now, and it’s one of our favorite examples of the intersection between hip-hop and tech.
