📚Female Founder Crush📚 This week’s Female Founder Crush is Heather Lyons, a true innovator in education technology and digital empowerment! Heather’s journey began in 2013 with a garden-based initiative that grew into BlueShift Education, a not-for-profit organization that has since helped over 14,000 students unlock their potential as digital creators. With a background in user experience design for global brands like Shell and Vodafone, Heather is now turning her talents toward Kita, a groundbreaking multiplayer, GenAI-enhanced code editor for classrooms. Her mission? To make coding more accessible and collaborative for students aged 10+, bridging the digital skills gap and transforming education as we know it. 🚀 Heather is on the lookout for: 1️⃣ Teachers and students to share their experiences with learning or teaching coding. 2️⃣ AI developers who can help integrate an assessment tool into Kita Learning.
