Camille Mason, Founder & CEO

As a female minority with a background in technology, I’m deeply passionate about using my skills and experiences to make a meaningful difference in the lives of underrepresented youth. Growing up, I didn’t always have access to the resources and opportunities that many students take for granted today. But through hard work and determination, I was able to carve my path in the tech world, and now, I want to ensure that the next generation, especially those from marginalized communities, has the same opportunities to succeed. Education is the key to breaking barriers, and by providing STEAM training at a young age, I can help equip our youth with the skills they need to be competitive in a technology-driven workforce.

Given the current climate, where diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts are being threatened, I feel an even stronger sense of urgency to provide these opportunities. We are at a critical point where ensuring access to quality education for all youth—regardless of their background—has never been more important. Through my nonprofit, I aim to inspire, educate, and prepare students for the future by giving them the tools to excel in fields that are traditionally underrepresented by minorities and women. However, there are challenges along the way. I often face limited funding, competing priorities for resources, and the challenge of building strong partnerships within local schools and businesses. Despite these challenges, I am driven by the belief that these students have untapped potential, and it’s my mission to help unlock it.
