We know—it’s been a little quiet on our end, but trust us, we’ve been cooking up a lot behind the scenes 👀🔥 From inspiring panels to game-changing workshops, the We Create Tech fam has been busy building, creating, and empowering. So let’s catch up! Here’s everything we’ve been up to—and everything coming next. Spoiler alert: it’s all major.
AI DAY In The A
It all started at the Gala… Before we hosted AI Day in The A, our CEO Shana Sanders attended a special gala where We Create Tech was awarded a micro grant from Microsoft! This incredible funding directly supported our AI workshop at the Best Buy Teen Tech Center, helping us empower high school students to dive into generative AI and creative tech. Huge thanks to Microsoft for investing in the future—and helping us make AI Day unforgettable!
Thanks to the support from Microsoft, we brought the energy to 404 Day in Atlanta—with an unforgettable AI workshop at the Best Buy Teen Tech Center. High school students got hands-on with generative AI, creating music videos to Killer Mike’s “Scientists & Engineers”. It was a powerful day of creativity, innovation, and exploration, showing the next generation that the future of tech isn’t just something you use—it’s something you can create. Atlanta’s next-gen creators are already shaping what’s next—and we’re just getting started.
Universal HER
This month, our phenomenal CEO, Shana Sanders, took the stage as a panelist at Universal HER, sharing her inspiring journey with a new generation of powerful women in tech and entrepreneurship. From founding We Create Tech to navigating the challenges that come with being a trailblazer, Shana spoke candidly about the highs, the hurdles, and the hope that fuels her mission. Her words lit up the room and reminded us all: the future of tech is female—and fiercely unstoppable.
Steam Fair
Teaching Tech with a Beat 🎧💡 Our CEO Shana Sanders, along with Dr. Mirage Sanders, Rachel Spurlock, and David Lee, recently led a powerful Virtual Day of Coding with Music—a creative collision of rhythm and technology.
Hosted by Harper College (Illinois) in partnership with Microsoft and the Barrington Council for the Gifted, this experience brought together curious minds of all ages to explore how music and code can work in harmony to spark innovation, creativity, and meaningful learning.
At We Create Tech, we believe that tech isn’t just a tool—it’s a form of self-expression. And moments like this prove it.
