In this episode, we\u2019re talking to Brandon Satrom about his book Ellie Saves the Day - it\u2019s a story about electricity and circuits for the next generation of maker girls and boys! Brandon's day job is all about IoT, so a big chunk of this episode we discuss what IoT is all about and how teachers and kids can understand its' concepts.\xa0

A tinkerer at heart, Brandon's love for electronics extends back to the Nintendo Entertainment System he would take apart and reassemble when simply blowing on the cartridges didn't work. Brandon is also a lover of story and has written and published several books and short stories. He lives in Austin, TX with his editor-in-chief and wife Sarah and three boys.

So when it comes to children\u2019s books - Brandon has published two so far and both were initially successfully funded on Kickstarter. First, there was \u201cEd Gets His Power Back\u201d back in 2017 and then a year later, the children\u2019s book \u201cEllie Saves the Day\u201d was launched. Both books share a common theme, which is to discover electronics through the power of story.
