>> live from Boston, Massachusetts. It's the queue covering your red hat. Some twenty nineteen. You buy bread. >> Oh, good afternoon. And welcome back as the Cube continues our live coverage. Exclusive coverage of Redhead Summit twenty nineteen here in Boston. Some nine thousand strong attendees here. Key notes have been jam packed, but we just finished our afternoon session not too long ago again. Very well attended. Dynamic speakers stew Minimum. John Walls. We're joined now by Lee Dae. Who's the Vice president of Marketing Communications? That Red Hatley. Good to see you. I see you and Michael brats, who was a teacher of English as a second language of Franklin Middle School in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Mr B. Good to see you, sir. And that's what your your students call you, Mr B. Is that right? What they do, we saw that way. Might just follow through on that tradition right now. All right, let's talk about why the two of you are here together. And I know you're Michael School has an interesting history that they've been kind of following somewhat independently, you know, in terms of open source and work. And only you found them through your marketing work some really very interesting. Two avenues that you have on your platform. So tell me a little bit about how how you got here. And then we'LL get into it after that. >> Okay, Great. So Red Hat has a program called co lab and this sir program where we go into schools and we teach kids how to code. So we do things like circuit boards and programming on raspberry pies. Kids have program raspberry pies into cameras to go around cities and take pictures. And we have had collapse in many cities, and we hadn't hit the Midwest. And we chose Minneapolis. And we found, fortunately, Franklin Middle School in that great group of girls and two awesome teachers that are very inspirational on, So the relationship didn't stop it. That week of coal lab, we have stayed in touch, and here at the summit, we've showcased the work in the police ship that we have together. Yeah, >> and I know a lot of the focus that the program is toward, uh, appealing to younger ladies. You know, young girls trying to get them or involved in stem education. We just had the two award winners for the women and open source with us just a few moments ago. So this is Ahh, a company wide. Durant wants a directive initiative that you said, Okay, we we have a responsibility, and we think we have a role here to play >> absolutely well. It's important to us to see the next generation of technologists. And when you feel like women, especially young women sometimes feel like technology is inaccessible to them, and they're not often in technology programs and university. So it's our initiative. Teo help young people feel comfortable and good about technology and that they can actually code. And they can actually do things that they didn't think were possible to them previously. >> So, Mr B. Help us understand how this fixing curriculum and give us a little bit of the story of how it went down. >> Well, it's funny asset. I mean, this opportunity for us is a home run out the part because we're a steam school science, technology, engineering, arts in math. So today, not only did our students perform on the main stage a song that we were able to collaborate right and go through a >> whole production process >> with music were also able to on there right now as we speak down running a booth, building circuits, presenting those circuits, presenting those circuit boards, and collaborating altogether down there with attendees of this conference right now. So, I mean, we're covering every one of those steam components, basically, in one project, one large scale technology project. So this opportunity homeland out the >> part. >> I love that because that was the first thing I went to mind. I heard photography involved. You say steam and so much, you know, we can't just have tech for Tex take. You know, I worried I studied engineering and, like, things like design and those kind of things right weren't in the curriculum. But you know what? I went to school. Creative side. Yeah. How important is that? You kind of get especially think young people get the enthusiasm going. That creative side would, you know, get them deeper into it. >> Well, you know, I always look att, individual students. Everybody has their individual gifts and talents, and it's about, you know, finding those leadership skills within each one of those gifts. And so within this, you're able to find someone that might be more creative in one area, maybe more technical and more, you know, logic orientated in other areas. So with that, you're able to just have Mohr a broader spectrum to be ableto find people's individual gives in towns and for them to in the collaboration also contribute their gifts and talents in different avenues instead of it just being one lane like just this part of technology or just this part of production and just this part of design were able to kind of integrate all of that into one thing and to take it one step further. After we did the, um So Cola came out with their mobile container to US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and it was right downtown, right outside of where our football team players brand new stadium Super Bowl is is there two years ago now And, um, so with our students being there after we got done with that, that cold lamb, when they were asking us, you know, to take it a step further in the classroom are students actually designed with our future boys Lo Bill Future Girls logo a card and then presented it to Red hat and they ended up printing off the cars and they were able to use it to build the circuit. So we weren't just using the coal lab cars. But we also got to design our own, too. >> So, you know, you said future boy's feet. So that's that's a new organization, the club that you formed the school Future Boys and Girls Club for the express purpose of what? >> Well, so we actually tie in all different content areas into assault. Obviously, this is just the future girls that are here in Boston and did the technology side with us and that parts of Spain the cold because it's an initiative for girls in technology but of the future boys and girls, uh, overall program. We encompass a lot of different continent as we integrate performing arts with academics and all the components of esteem school, um, into learning. And we do interest based learning. We do project based learning, and basically, you know, kids are learning a lot without realizing how much they're really learning, you know, and we make it fun and relevant. But we also teach the leadership skills in the hard work that goes in with it. And I mean, even just coming out here to Boston for this, uh, for this opportunity here in this summit, I mean, the amount of work that it took for the students to get here and the process, the ups and downs, especially with middle school students. You know, the marathon, not a sprint mentality, you know, has been absolutely amazing. >> Good luck with that eye. Well, >> I always say I >> haven't had a bad day yet. Just an overstimulating one. >> So lately, you know, we love having stories on the Cube and especially tech for good is something that we always get a good dose here at Red had some it. You know what else can share some of the open tour stories that were going on around the event? >> We're really thrilled. Today. We're launching our newest open source story, which is about agriculture and which we choose topics with open source stories that are important every everyone so medicine, helping to find cures for cancer, even our government and artificial intelligence. And today it's about open hardware and open agriculture. And we're launching a new film this afternoon. >> It's all future farming, right? Right. That that's the viewing today. >> Yes, and we had someone showing their their farming computer on our stage, and it's actually done in Summit >> Show for today. So you've got the open studio, you know, working and you have a number of projects. I assume this fell into one of those slots right where you were Using one of those platforms to feature great work of future farming is another example of this, But But you have some, I think, pretty neat things that you've created some slots that give you a chance to promote open source in a very practical and very relatable way. >> Yes, exactly. So our Opens our open studio is our internal creative community agency. But we do get ideas from everyone around, you know, around the world. So wait, get ideas about open agriculture, eh? I, uh, what we can do with kids and programming with kids. And then we take those ideas into the open studio and it is a meritocracy. So the best ideas when and that's what we choose to bring to life. And we have designers and writers and filmmakers and strategist and a whole group of people that make up the open studio inside a red hat >> And you've done a new feature, Frank. >> Yes. So, yeah. We work together to create the container that doctor be mentioned and to create the container. And then we work. When >> you have you >> have. You know, one of the girls Taylor actually taught me just now I am not technical. I will just give that caveat. But they they make, they made circuit boards, and they're making circuit boards here. Some issue and mine doesn't work. So don't That's okay. Just, basically were you can see here we have different designs that are attendees can choose from, and then we have electrical tape that you are sorry, competent and an led light. And so the idea is to toe form a circuit and to have led light item the card. That's great. So one of the one of the girls actually taught me how to make it, but I think I didn't follow >> her. Instructed you to go back to school. Wouldn't be the first time that I would have fallen apart either on that. So where Michael, Where would you be now without red hat? Or, you know, you were doing your own thing right independently. But now you've received some unexpected support. Where would you be? You think was out that help. And how much of a difference have they made >> you? Well, let me tell you. I mean, you know, when we look at it being an after school program, the amount of enrichment and opportunities that redhead has created for us has been, honestly, just unbelievable. It's been first class, and we're so appreciative. I mean, even even in our meeting with the future girls last night, we just talked about gratitude and how grateful we are for it. I mean, when you look at this circuit, this is an abbreviated version of what the students actually participate in. This is, you know, just a one one, uh, one led light and a small formation our students were doing. I think there were seven or eight on ours. And so the amount of learning in the modern opportunity that this presented to him not only have they learned how to do the technical piece of it, they've learned howto present. They've learned howto speak and present. They've learned howto call lab, collaborate, work together on huge levels, and I mean, they learned what they can take on an airplane, you know, coming out here. So I mean, the amount of things that through the learning process of, like, eye color, large scale technology project that we've been participating since October since they brought the mobile lab out to Minneapolis. I called a large scale tech, you know, technology project, and going through that whole process has been huge. And let me tell you this as a teacher and those that are parents you're competing was so much in this day and age to keep kids attention, right? I mean, everything is swiped the phone every which way and everything. So instant gratification. So for students to actually engage in this cola program for to be set up so well from Red Hat and to actually stick with it and stay engaged with it really speaks volumes denying the program. But also, you know, our students staying engaged with it, but they've they've stuck with it, they've been engaged, and it's very interest based, the project I've seen it through. But then also the renewed opportunities and being ableto one of the things on our rubric as the teacher is toe expand and extend the learning I don't mean to be long winded, but we wanted, you know, expand on the learning that's already taken place and being out here, it's just it's just a continuous continuation of the learning, you know, not just one level going to next level going on next long light, next level. And that's that, honestly, is where the real learning really takes place. >> So, Michael, you know, from its very nature being an open source company, you know, Red Hat talks a lot about it. Ecosystem in community. If I five red right in the notes, they're you know, your student really getting the value and understanding of community. There's something about they wrote a song. Talk >> about that. We become stronger. Yeah, that's the name of the song is we become stronger And you know what the idea was. We were looking at the power point for this summer and for this summit, and in that there was, uh there was a phrase that said ideas become stronger and that's the collaboration. And so we started tossed around ideas and things like that were like, Well, we liked the idea of stronger, and then we're like, Well, this is more of the coal lab experience, not just the ideas of the technical side. And that's why we become stronger. And yet we developed a song specifically for this summit. I think you go top for, you know. >> Yeah, the performance was amazing. >> Yeah, you don't want >> one top forty, to be honest with you, but no. I mean, uh, you know, and that was another whole another phase, you know, like, I talked about the steam side of the school. Um uh, integrating the arts in and the whole production side of that, you know, it was a lot of work and another project, but it was another area of content that we're able to integrate into this project, and, uh, and we're able to perform it on stage. So, like I said, they literally just got off stage performing. We become stronger singing the whole production of song a dance routine choreography and then went straight to the boot to now present circuits and teach attendees here at the summit howto build a circuit. I don't know how much better can get in that. >> That is so cool. That's great. Now is this the song that you recorded in the same studio. Lenny Kravitz. Atlantis More. Tell me you didn't like that, huh? >> I mean, you know, it's all right. >> That's good. That's great. Congratulations, Roy. On this collaboration, it's really it is exciting to see what they're doing to inspire young people on Michael. I can tell you like your job. Don't you love it? I love it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely. Well, keep up the great work. And we appreciate the time here. And I look forward to hearing that song. Maybe if it hits, you know, the ice store. You know, Apple Store, maybe, You know, maybe good things will happen, right? Hey, you never know. She's Vice president marketing. We're gonna figure this. I'm checking out. I tio go by weight, become stronger. Thanks, Michael. We appreciate Lee. Thank you for having me back with more. Here on the Cube. You're watching our coverage, right? Had some twenty nineteen, but

(upbeat electronic music) >> Announcer: Live from San Francisco, it's theCUBE. Covering Red Hat Summit 2018. Brought to you by Red Hat. >> Hey, welcome back, everyone. This is theCUBE, we're live in San Francisco, California, here at Moscone West, Red Hat Summit 2018. I'm John Furrier, the co-host of theCUBE. We've got three great guests, exciting segment. Really looking at the future of computer programming, the youth in our generation, the young minds, and the award winners here at Red Hat Summit. Our three guests are Leigh Day, Vice Present of Marketing and Communications at Red Hat. Ellie Galloway with Jewelbots, and Sara Chipps, CTO at Jewelbots Thanks for spending the time and coming on. I really appreciate it. Love this story because I always, as a computer person, I always love getting nerdy, but now nerd is the new cool. So starting young and coding is not just for guys anymore, it's for everybody. So congratulations on your success. Take a minute to explain what's happened here, because the folks watching don't know what happened yesterday. You guys were featured at part of Open Source Stars. Leigh, talk about the story. >> So about three years ago, the Red Hat Marketing Communications Group decided that they needed a passion project, something that would make them feel more energized about coming to work and not just selling products, but telling genuine stories about people. We started our Open Source Stories films series, and that has turned into Open Source Stories Live as well. So yesterday we brought awesome stories, like Jewelbots to our stage to tell the story of children and others getting involved in coding. And Ellie and Femmie on our stage, talking about how people should code for good and we really love that message and applaud that. >> And coding is so social because it's fun. So talk about Jewelbots and what's happening here? So how did this get started? And then I'll go into some specific questions for the young future star here. (laughter) Sara, how did it all get started? >> Yeah, so Jewelbots got started out of a desire to make a product for young girls, to get them excited about coding. So we talked to about 200 girls and we asked them what was interesting to them, and over and over from them we heard that their friendships are really important to them. And so when we were talking to them about a bracelet that lights up when your friends are nearby and you can use it to send secret messages, they got really excited. And so that's what we built and we made it open source so they would code it as well. >> How did it all get started? What was the motivation, what motivated you to take on this project? >> Good question. So I've been a software developer for seventeen years, I was five years into my career before I worked with another woman and it was another five years after that, before I worked with another one. So I really, you know, I love this career and I wanted to figure out a way to get more women excited about doing it. So, talking to my male peers, I heard from them that they started about middle school age, and so I wanted to find something for girls that would also inspire them in that way. >> That's awesome, thank you so much for doing that. I love the story, it's super important. Now, how did you get involved? You just loved programming? You wake up one day and say, hey, I love programming? How did you get involved? >> Well first, me and my dad, my dad works for Microsoft, he helped me code a game in Unity and so I love coding games so much that later he showed me Minecraft min code. And so I got involved in that, by then I kind of knew how to code and everything, so I only asked my dad for help if I absolutely needed it. And then, since my dad new Sara Chipps from Microsoft, he showed me Jewelbot one day when I got home from school and I've been on my own programming since then. >> John: You having fun? >> I am. >> What's the favorite thing about coding that you like? >> I love solving problems, and so solving problems is probably my favorite part in coding. I solve a lot of problems and inventions, tiny ones and just kind of figuring things out. >> Did you get all your friends involved? Did you spread it around to your friend group? >> I am getting some friends involved. In my YouTube channel I have someone I shared Jewel a lot with and showed how to code, and yeah. And at school, at my next school, I am going to create a Jewelbots club, and I'm hoping I can get a lot of people to join. >> So is it fun, is Jewelbot fun? I mean, how does it work, how does he Jewelbot work? So I wear a bracelet and then it lights up? So how does the code work? Is it an io sensor in the front end? How does it work? >> It works by Bluetooth. Do you mean friendship coding mode, or? >> Friendship coding mode. >> Okay, friendship coding mode. Yeah, you use Bluetooth for friendship coding mode. You pair Jewelbots together and it's pretty simple. You don't need a program, you can start right away without any program and it already has a default on it, so yeah. >> Do you have an agreement with Snapchat yet? Because that would be a great geofence feature, if I had like a Jewelbot with Snapchat integration. >> You can communicate by vibrates but there's not a Snapchat picture. >> Not yet, we'll make sure that we get that back and I'll get my daughter involved to jump in. How about the community aspect? I love the story, because what it does, it makes it fun. You don't want coding to be like eating spinach or, you know, taking out the trash or sweeping, you know, the floor up, you want to make it fun. Kids want to make it fun and gaming is key. When did it start clicking with you, Sara? You know, when did it start getting momentum? >> Yeah, well I think one thing that we realized, is that coding doesn't have to be a lonely activity, it doesn't have to be just one person sitting in a basement coding, it could be really anyone, and it's such a social thing, you know? All coders are self-taught and we all learn from each other, so having the ability to have a community that you can reach out to that are excited to help you and that kind of thing was a really important part of what we were building. >> So you guys were on stage... So tell about what happened here, 'cause folks didn't get to see and they can see it online after on a replay, you guys are out on stage, did you do like a demo? Tell us what happened on stage. >> We had a whole afternoon session that was focused on showcasing collaboration, young people coding, STEM. We had a group from our co-op, alumni come to the stage and talk about their experiences with Co.Lab, programming Raspberry Pis to take pictures. These are middle school girls, we've done programs with them all over the east coast. Then we had our CMO talk about his open-source experience. We had Women Open Source Awards, and then Sara and Ellie came out and told the audience about Jewelbots and it was just an opportunity to shine a light on their awesome project and to showcase young women doing great things. And showing women that they should have the confidence to code alongside men. >> Yeah, great program, how does someone get involved? How can someone get involved with Red Hat's Open Stories and your communities with Jewelbots. What can you guys share? Is there locations or a web app? Is there something you can get involved in? How does someone get involved? >> Well, Red Hat, we have seven Open Source Stories films, that people can go online and watch. But then yet, there's 90 of them for an open-source story, OpenSourceStories@RedHat.com is a way to contribute to that. But we're always thinking about new ideas, taking contributions and love to hear about these stories. >> Sara, how do I get involved in the Jewelbots? For anyone else watching who might be inspired by this awesomeness you guys have going on here. Great practice, I love how you're doing this. How do they get involved with what you're doing? >> So, if you have young girls in your life Jewelbots.com, Amazon.com, Target.com is all where you can get Jewelbots. If you don't and you know some people that do, a lot of people have started hosting events around Jewelbots, so if people in your office might have daughters and they might be interested in something like that, that's something that we help people do, as well. >> That's great. Ellie, what's your thoughts on all this? This celebrity status you have? Your YouTube followers are going to go through the roof now. >> Yeah, since yesterday I've had over 75 new followers. >> John: Wow. >> So yeah, it's amazing. >> Can she say the name of her YouTube channel? >> Of course. >> EllieGJewelbots. >> EllieGJewelbots, we're going to promote it, make sure it's on the screen, guys, great program. I'm so excited for you, that's amazing, don't stop. It gets better, more fun every time. When you build cool stuff it's magical. And tell all your friends. Great stuff, thanks so much for doing this. Great program, thanks for coming on. >> Thanks for having us. >> Thanks for having us. It's theCUBE, live here. A really inspirational inspirational moment here, getting everyone started at the young age really kind of opens the aperture of all people, all diversity, inclusion and diversity, really critical part of the community paying it forward. Of course, theCUBE's doing our part here, be back with more live coverage after this short break. (upbeat electronic music)
