Linda is a bright voice on global technology education from Helsinki, Finland.

With her Hello Ruby books and philosophy she brings a Nordic playful perspective to the sometimes serious world of computer science. Translated into nearly 40 languages, this children’s picture book series asks: What else is there to technology education than “Learn to code”? If computer code is the
Lego block of our time – a tool of creation – how do we teach curiosity, joy, and wonder to our kids?

Linda is building a playground to Helsinki where you can learn about how computers work without a single screen.

beyond tellerrand feels like a secret club where everyone belongs, full of unexpected ideas and genuine connections — a rare and rollicking gathering.
