We Create Tech exists to close the opportunity divide in STEAM. We build a comprehensive ecosystem of hands-on programs, industry advisors, and community-driven career pathways that meets students where they are and takes them where they are going.
From weekly lab sessions and summer camps to certification platforms and adaptive tech design, we don't just teach students about technology. We build the conditions for them to create it, own it, and build careers and ventures from it.
This work is personal. It started in a classroom. And it is far from finished.
When I started We Create Tech, it was more than a program. It was a promise. A promise to the students I watched leave for college full of potential and come back home because the bridge wasn't there. A promise to the version of me that needed someone to show up and say — you belong in this space.
As a former educator, Emmy Award winner, and Google AI Fellow, I have spent my career at the intersection of technology, culture, and community. But this work is not about my credentials. It is about the student who builds their first circuit board and realizes they are an engineer.
The one who designs adaptive technology for an athlete with a disability and understands that tech can be an act of love. The one who earns a certification and changes the trajectory of their entire family. We Create Tech is the mirror, the pathway, and the launchpad. And we are just getting started.
