A Conversation with Dr Natalie Lao, CEO, App Inventor Foundation, MIT
I had the privilege of attending the AI and Education Summit at MIT in July 2024, where my team and I presented our poster. One of the highlights for me was meeting Dr. Natalie Lao, the CEO and Executive Director of the App Inventor Foundation. She is someone I really look up to because of her work in making AI and coding accessible to students worldwide. I was thrilled to have the chance to interview her and learn more about her journey, her advice for young learners, and the role of AI in education.
