Quin Etnyre wanted to make tech education more fun. So he became a teacher and he started his own company called Qtechknow, which sells DIY electronic starter kits.
He has plenty of his own experience with DIY electronics. He’s already invented several technological gadgets, including a robot that dusts and a fart detector.
Maybe his inventions aren’t so surprising when we consider that Quin is only 12-years-old.
Quin, who will soon be entering 8th grade, believes anyone can learn to be comfortable with  technology. He joins The Takeaway to discuss some of his inventions and the ways he is working to make technology more accessible.Â
