Grechen Huebner is a young aspiring and thriving entrepreneur and co-founder of Kodable, a tech design company. Grechen attended the University of Louisville where she found an interest in design and computer science and applied the knowledge she learned and her passions to create Kodable along with her friend Jon Mattingly. Kodable focuses on giving kids an opportunity to learn computer skills at a young age, something she wishes she had access to. Her dedication to share her skills and abilities to serve a certain population, this being younger children, an opportunity to learn code and progress the abilities for kids to learn such things at a younger age. The idea does not only focus on the advancement and take advantage of the growing market of coding and computer science related careers but gives kids an opportunity to play around and learn these very important things to figure out if they like these sorts of things.
Grechen is still very young and has a lot of opportunity to grow the business and use the skills and knowledge of her and her colleagues to help kids learn more about computer science and the skills associated with it. Her focus shows her desire to help the community and has a socioeconomic impact and wants to help kids succeed and find more interesting opportunities to learn, something she wishes she had access to as a kid. Her story began with just building a website in her dorm room in college and now is considered a very high level young entrepreneur whose career is just getting started. The combination of her knowledge of the curriculum and her own experiences with coding and giving kids the opportunity to learn these things shows that she is a very smart and good entrepreneur with a focus on both the social and business side of things.
Grechen is a great example of a young entrepreneur. Her work is inspiring because she is bringing coding to kids. Many children are not exposed to that early on, but it is an important skill that only grows over time. By allowing children to start learning coding, they will have an advantage later in life if they choose to follow that passion. Overall, Grechen is a good example of a young entrepreneur because she is creating change that is impacting kids’ computer skills and computer science awareness.
