Anne Mayoral | Program Director
Anne is a rocket scientist turned toy and exhibit designer, with a passion for hands-on STEAM education. She believes strongly in “learning through play” and encourages learners to get their hands dirty as a means for developing intuition, a deep understanding of the world, and comfort with making mistakes. Anne strives to promote diversity in engineering and increase access for underserved and underrepresented populations; cultivate curiosity and appreciation for the natural world; create safe, supportive and welcoming learning environments; and build capacity through learner-led, inquiry-based opportunities and empowered making. Anne earned a B.S. and M.S. in aerospace engineering from the University of Texas at Austin and a B.A. in industrial design from the Academy of Art University.
Maddie Guan | Program Assistant
I am currently a 4th year student studying mechanical engineering in the College of Engineering at UC Berkeley. Prior to university, I went to a STEM Academy High School, which granted me the opportunity to gradually dip my toes into creative problem solving, manufacturing machine learning and CAD design. With my love for German cars, tangled with my interests in engineering, it inevitably sparked my interests in automotive design. Here at GiE, I hope to also inspire young friends to find their passions in STEM and it’s such an honor to be on this team.
