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 | Student Assistant
I am currently a 3rd 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. My currently favorite cars are the 2019 Porsche GT2 RS and the older Targas, they are just so beautiful! 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.
Uriah Rodriguez | Student Assistant
I am a third year student studying Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Berkeley and am passionate about bridging the divide between under-resourced communities and the tech world. Ever since doing a coding camp in the third grade and learning Scratch, I’ve fallen in love with the endless possibilities that code can create. In my free time, I enjoy the little things in life such as playing volleyball or Roblox with friends, or restoring classic cars if I have extra time.
I am super excited to be a part of GiE this summer and can’t wait to help spark curiosity for all the Campers.
“GiE provides such a unique and welcoming environment for all the campers and CITs. I had such an enjoyable time attending camp this week and was so amazed by all the hard work and creativity the campers put into their projects!”
