Today on ‘Dot Complicated with Randi Zuckerberg’ the newest venture from Zuckerberg Media was the topic of discussion. Sue’s Tech Kitchen is a tech-fueled wonderland for the mouth and the mind. Envisioned by bestselling author and serial entrepreneur designed by a NASA scientist, and featuring technologies from all corners of the modern imagination, Sue’s Tech Kitchen offers a STEM-inspired adventure for the whole family that empowers kids to engage with tomorrow’s technologies and revolutionizes family dining in the process. Sue’s project manager, Steve Anderson, and head of design and engineering, Sam Pfister, were special guests.
“The whole idea with Sue’s is to bring family dining into the digital age.”
“”Families are all on their cell phones at the dinner table. It doesn’t have to be that way.”
“We want to create an environment where families can see technology be part of the dining experience itself.”
“The table people are dining at won’t just be a regular table.”
“The food itself will be fun and surprising and interactive.”
“Once guests leave the table there are all kinds of treats for the families to explore.”
“There’s an educational component that doesn’t feel like education.”
“How do we learn languages? We start with simple structures. Programming is a similar technique.”
“Red candy means move forward, the blue candy means turn left. It’s fun for kids and fun for adults.”
“We’ve got to fight for the young kids who aren’t as fast with math.”
“There’s a lack of creativity in the engineering sector. We need engineers who solve problems without math.”
“Increasing the diversity of coding and programming careers is so important.”
“One of the goals of Sue’s is to empower not only kids but adults.”
“The Tomorrow Building in Chattanooga embodies the spirit we’re trying to cultivate. Bringing tech to people of all ages.”
“The exciting thing about Sue’s you can extend benefits to expand the room to be a screen. It’s interactive.”
“You work on a robot but you don’t know what that robot is going to experience.”
“How do you build technology to support creativity?”
“It was important to me it was a girl’s name on the marquee. At an early age we’re taught that men run things.”
Sue’s Tech Kitchen launches at the Tomorrow Building on July 28th.
