This theme of transition keeps guiding my work.
Our #RESPECT2025 experience report describes an outreach event we organized to inspire BLV high schoolers to study STEM in college (a major life transition!).

We found that tech learning was a challenging process that was deeply social, shaped by community knowledge and mutual aid. Multiple life transitions complicated some participants’ tech learning.
