Getting to know the next generation of breakthrough leaders. Meet Dennis Berkhof and Marco van der Werf (MDE242)

Minter Dialogue Episode #242 -- Dennis Berkhof and Marco van der Werf are the co-founders of BIT Students Foundation, based in Amsterdam, a not-for-profit way for students to learn to code for free. On the heels of this successful venture, Dennis and Marco are now looking to start the equivalent of Ecole 42 (the famous coding school started by Xavier Niel in Paris) in Amsterdam. In this conversation, we look at their adventures, how education should improve, the world of new tech through the eyes of two aspiring geeky 26 year olds, as well as how businesses could be better collaborating with startups.
