Description

Mr. Fred’s Tech Talks is your backstage pass to the world of coding, tinkering and technology made simple, fun, and family-friendly. Hosted by Mr. Fred (a former Marine officer turned college professor and lifelong tech tinkerer), each weekly, 10–15 minute episode breaks down real-world tech topics into bite-sized lessons you can use today.


Whether you’re a parent trying to understand what “JavaScript” really means, a teacher looking for fresh STEM activities, or a kid who dreams of building your own game or robot, Mr. Fred’s Tech Talks delivers:

  • Clear, jargon-free explanations of coding languages, tools and AI
  • Behind-the-scenes stories from tech history (like the 64 KB computer that landed on the Moon)
  • Hands-on project ideas and step-by-step tips you can try at home or in the classroom
  • Inspiring interviews and sound bites from the pioneers who built our digital world


Come for the “Tech Tip of the Day,” stay for the celebratory sound bites and community call-outs. Subscribe now on Acast and join a growing community of curious minds because at GetMeCoding.com, I believe that everyone can learn to code, explore technology, and build confidence…one byte at a time.
