"Before we partnered with Michelle, our students were underexposed to tech and computer science. Being a Title 1 school, we wanted to make sure to give our deserving students every opportunity to maximize their potential - and working with Michelle did just that. Now our students are experienced in things like coding, digital citizenship, and computer science; really preparing them to compete in a global society."

"I attended Michelle’s session yesterday, and what I really loved was how engaging it was and how much information it gave me. There aren’t many girls in this field, so it helped me see myself in the work, but it also gave me insight into how to connect with people of color and bring them into what I want to do—especially since my school is predominantly white. I’m really grateful for the experience, and I think more people should attend."

"Michelle Pierce empowers students to own their learning, think critically, and connect computer science and AI to real-world applications and their future pathways. She not only transforms her classroom, but also helps other educators unlock meaningful ways to integrate CS and AI. Her expertise, passion, and commitment to equity make her an invaluable leader and ambassador in this work."
