Founder of Mission Control Lab, inventor of MakeON®, Jessica researches systems that propagate the exploration, building and communication of ideas. As an emerging technologist she discovered that the experience of “Inventure” (Invention + Adventure) was transformational in cultivating “future-fitness” for individuals, educators and industries of STEAM. The concept in practice generates equity, inclusion, diversity, expression, empathy, sustainability, entrepreneurism, conscious decision making and community- the deep social impact she is most passionate about.
Her EdTech startup lets anyone build wearables, walls and objects that come alive with light, movement and sound, hands-on and in minutes using visual directions. The goal is to lower the floor and raise the ceiling of phygital storytelling by adapting the global electronic hardware ecosystem and rendering the connection more accessible, scalable, flexible, fast, and fun, from LED to IoT, for ages 5+.
By supporting opportunities for human ingenuity and creative problem solving to come together with technology – for more people, we will embrace a deeper understanding of ourselves, our connection to humankind and the relationship we have with the planet – from inner space to outer space – human to machine.
