Danielle's Tech Hours are an initiative of The STEAM Connection to support young innovators and changemakers. Learn more about The STEAM Connection at www.steamconnection.org.

Danielle's Tech Hours are free and informal standalone virtual office hours with youth inventor, founder, and activist Danielle Boyer for students ages 18 and under who are interested in developing their technical and social change projects. This is not intended to be homework help but rather an opportunity to learn how to develop yourself and build your invention, organization, or project and is self-directed. You'll have the opportunity to ask Danielle and her Tech Hour guests questions and feedback and have their help in taking your work to the next level. This is like small group mentoring to help your project become its very best. You will also have the opportunity to see our latest inventions and tech before they are released, especially our newest biodegradable creations.
