After six years teaching technology classes to first-generation, low-income middle-school students in Oakland, California, Cassidy Puckett has seen firsthand that being good with technology is not something people are born with-it's something they learn. In "Redefining Geek", she overturns the stereotypes around the digitally savvy and identifies the habits that can help everyone cultivate their inner geek. -- "Through her solid research and her experiences with working with diverse student learners, Puckett does an exemplary job in helping readers understand and rethink what it means to be technologically competent... This knowledge and her guidance-coupled with a thorough examination of how our biases can further exacerbate the digital divide- is beneficial in designing tech curriculum and programs that are more inclusive and supportive to the diverse communities that they are serving. A must-read for any professional seeking to improve and advance technology education." -- Susanne Tedrick, author of "Women of Color in Tech"
