Discovering a Sense of Purpose
“I knew Orkeeswa was unique the moment I stepped on campus. I started to see changes in myself when I started to learn robotics. I realized I could use computers to solve problems. I started thinking about my future and setting goals. Orkeeswa supported my passion for robotics and when I graduated from college, I became the Robotics Teacher at Orkeeswa. This opportunity allows me to impact the students the same way Orkeeswa impacted me. I am looking forward to bringing up students who can use their technology skills to transform our community.”
