Miriam Tocino — Using stories for technical communication

Tiny DevOps

Miriam Tocino is a children's book author and illustrator who focuses on teaching children a passion for technology. In this episode, we create a story together of the characters Zerus and Ona, as they explore how a voice message is sent through the cloud, to a friend.

We use this this to demonstrate the process of using illustrations and creative imagery to explain complex topics to children and other non-technical people.
