Sara used to be a children's book editor, now she is a full stack developer. In her spare time, she teaches young people to create with software and builds digital projects related to publishing. Stories let children live a thousand lives.


So far, with Engineering Your Story, 197 children have created characters or objects with 3D software and had it printed so they could hold it in their hand. 52 children have created games with micro:bits. And 8 teachers and 4 parents have completed a Scratch workshop to support the young people in their care.


With BookPenPals, over five years of pairing up school children and children's book authors and illustrators, more than 2500 personal postcards were sent to over 600 schools, reaching approximately 13,000 children, spreading the joy of stories across the nation.
