Jobs at Unruly Studios

In 4th grade, our CEO and founder Bryanne Leeming was exposed to coding for the first time through a computer game. She had so much fun that she wished she could play the game at home! As Bryanne went through college and started working, she realized how that early exposure to coding prepared her to feel confident in technology and ultimately start her career in the industry. Breaking Down Barriers in STEM Through Play Bryanne’s experience was unusual. Computer science remains unapproachable for many despite efforts to introduce coding at earlier ages. Women still only make up 36% of high tech workers, 8% are hispanic, and 7% are black or African American. So Bryanne looked at how computer science was taught in schools. If it was introduced at all, most coding activities required kids to sit in front of computer screens in an isolated, sedentary way. Coding and Active Play With a degree in cognitive science, Bryanne knew that kids learn best with activities that are collaborative and physically active to get them engaged and learning without even realizing it. ‍ That’s when Bryanne had an idea. What if we could make learning to code as much fun as recess?
