It’s hard to believe, but there are still kids out there who haven’t even used the word “technology.”
Zainab Oni didn’t welcome the word into her vocabulary until ninth grade. She was 12 years old when her family left Laos, Nigeria, and immigrated to New York City, after her mother passed away. She was in search of new opportunities to make a life for herself.
Luckily, she soon discovered something called the Mouse Design League, a unique after-school program that teaches kids how to explore technology in new ways that address pressing social issues.
It was then and there at Hudson High School of Learning that her future began to take shape.
