Chief Explorer, Moon Hacker Academy

Rachel is a parent, author, and technologist who is passionate about making complex tech concepts accessible to everyone. After spending nearly two decades working in technology, she left full-time work to spend time on creative pursuits. She created Moon Hacker Academy as a way to give Middle Schoolers a fun and interactive way to learn about AI. Because the better kids understand AI, the more productively and safely they can engage with it.

"During my research for my Middle Grade novel, MOON HACKERS, I became fascinated by the impact that generative AI has on kids growing up with AI all around them."
