ABOUT THE ORGANIZER

Originating as the Born Just Right blog in 2005 and then formed as a non-profit organization in 2017, Design With Us further expands on this ground-breaking mission to promote in-person, hybrid and virtual STEM programs designed with and by disabled young people. Design With Us believes sharing design and STEM knowledge empowers youth to create their own solutions . Disabilities offer powerful perspectives and design helps grow confidence and knowledge as young people evolve into adults. Co-founded by teen inventor Jordan Reeves, Design With Us/Born Just Right was last at the CSF in 2019 at Microsoft Garage – which was featured in Disney+ Marvel Heroes Project.
