Welcome to the #CharlotteIsCreative podcast. Today’s show features hosts Tim Miner and Matt Olin speaking with Andrew Au, Director of Operations at Queens Knight School of Communication, immediately following the August 3 Creative Mornings Charlotte event at Divine Barrel Brewing in NoDa, where Andrew spoke about the global theme of “Community.”

As the Director of Operations at Queens Knight School of Communication and Digital Charlotte, Andrew works to help bridge the gap in Charlotte’s digital divide. As Andrew has said, “Being digitally connected doesn’t mean people becoming more isolated but in actuality, technology should be a means to bring everyone closer and providing ways for people to come together.”

In this episode of the #CharlotteIsCreative podcast, Andrew talks about the importance of working with kids; and the digital divide - what it is, what it is not, how to overcome it, and how the community can help.

Register for the next Creative Mornings Charlotte event Friday morning, September 7  at 8:30 a.m. at the Fillmore Charlotte. The featured speaker will be Chris Elmore, co-founder of Avid Xchange, speaking about the global theme of “Chaos”.  RSVPs will open at 9 a.m., Monday, September 3.
