Emile Cambry is revolutionizing after-school education using cell phone “Apps.”

First of all, Emile does a lot with his life.

MBA professor.  Entrepreneur.  Film maker.  And now, he is launching a revolutionary after school program that preps kids of the SATs and teaches them how to build (and sell) Apps for cell phones, TV, and beyond.

Emile Cambry is not new to business, teaching, or even programming and technology.  Emile used to write for the online social media and technology publication, Mashable.  He also has films that have won awards at the Cannes Film Festival.  Rather than keeping all that awesomeness to himself, he makes it a priority to give kids the opportunity to have the same amazing and diverse experiences he has enjoyed and that have so greatly contributed to his success.

In this podcast, I pick Emile’s brain about his new after school project, the 21st CenturyYouth Program.  (Download, View, or Print our brochure as a PDF)  I ask him about his ideas, inspiration, road blocks, and progress.  We also talk about his new upcoming film, For Flow, about to Brooklyn MCs following their dreams.
