Crafting the Heroes of the Future

Donation protected
We inspire and empower tomorrow’s heroes, the kids sitting in our classrooms today, to build the future.

Build a better future with us.
Your contributions will fund computer equipment the students, our future heroes, will use to create impactful projects. Currently, students are using school district-owned computers that restrict access to necessary resources, slow progress, and limit how students can contribute to projects. With your support, our interns can produce impactful projects with fewer obstacles and more opportunities to create!

Students continue from our program with competitive resumes, improved confidence in themselves and their technical competencies, and motivation to contribute their skills to impact the world in meaningful ways. Inspired and empowered, they will solve the world's most challenging problems.

Who We Are
Crafting Heroes, LLC is a social impact business that creates workforce development opportunities for high school students by providing technology internships. The founding team is of a woman majority, and the CEO is a woman of color with a computer science background. Our founding team holds experience in education, training, business, computer science & security, graphic design, immersive technologies, and engineering.

What We Do
We match organizations’ projects with our students to provide technology internships that support the development of the student's skills, knowledge, confidence, and portfolio. Our operations support sponsoring organizations and schools by delivering experiences that further their mission to train and educate others. The projects result in quality software generated using novel technologies known as Extended Reality (XR) that can be applied for educational and training purposes.

How We Do It
Education is about more than knowing sets of facts, figures, and finite information. Education is about empowerment and stepping into the future by honing your skills to build that future one step at a time. That takes exploration, curiosity, and a willingness to go on adventures of learning both internally and externally.

Our Values:
  • Adventure
  • Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
  • Empowering Learners
  • Personal Growth
  • Purposeful Innovation
  • Social Impact

Why We Do It
At Crafting Heroes, we open the doors, empower the learners to tackle the challenges in their communities and provide the beginning of a journey. Our education is about more than content; it is about putting that content in the context of purpose.

Kids in our classrooms deserve educators who help them reach their potential, no matter where they start. Heroes have grit, determination, and the will to keep going when things get tough. We can help them build those skills.

Students emerge from our program with the confidence and empowerment to solve the world's most challenging problems. In a world where their power is often withdrawn and diminished, we help them find their voice and (super)power. We support our students through their journey to recognizing that they can be creators, change-makers, innovators...the heroes of our future.
