Our guest for Episode 8 is Dr. Marci Klein, who is the Co-Founder of 3DuxDesign a cardboard modeling system that incorporates community-centered design projects and inspires students to imaginatively and practically think through solutions to real-world problems they see around them. Today she shares the story of how she started 3DuxDesign with her two kids, the importance of letting a small business grow at its own pace, and getting your product out in the market to find the right product market fit.

Marci is a clinical and academic pediatrician with over 25 years of experience in early childhood development, education, and social/emotional health. She transitioned into education 6 years ago with a goal to create more engaging, deeper, and authentic learning opportunities for all children.
