There is an unspoken expectation that today’s child must be prepared for the high-tech world of tomorrow. Despite the widespread availability of technology and connectivity, many children who come from disadvantaged areas and technologically-disengaged home environments are at risk of being left behind. Having access to learning tools is critical to the development of children and their future contribution to a global society.

Liza works hard to identify and empower these young minds and ensure that every child has access to the tools and technologies that will help them become assets to their families and communities. Texas Techies and PowerUp create unique, technology-rich learning environments that inspire children to embrace their individual potential and engage with the fast-moving world around them.

Liza’s goal is to continue developing educational programs and curriculum that integrate technology and find ways to connect more children with the tools that will inspire them to develop into engaged global citizens.
