Innovate My World

Our Story

In September 2017, Hurricane Maria hit the northeastern Caribbean Islands. It was one of the worst hurricanes on record for the small island of Dominica. Because giving back would make our summer a lot more fun, we decided to host a camp for children. All expenses were paid so that income would not be prohibitive. The students in the program constructed robots, learned creative and performing arts, attended career workshops, and discussed problems along with creating groups to address solutions. The program was well received and has continued every summer since to extend and include workshops on sustainable agricultural practices.

Hayat (Curriculum Planning)

Hayat is an Educator who believes in the value of service. She teaches her students to measure success not just by what they gain for themselves, but also by what they give back to their community. She encourages her students to create goals, learn new concepts, and persevere through challenges. Innovate My World extends her reach to students in Dominica. Identifying problems on the island and giving the students the tools to develop solutions drives her mission. Hayat obtained her B.A. at UMBC and MEd from Loyola University.

Grace (Strategic Planning)

Grace lives by the belief system that knowledge is power and that the appropriate use of power can initiate a positive trajectory for the world. Grace migrated to the United States in 2000, focused her studies in Computer Engineering and quickly joined the corporate America workforce, focusing in Cybersecurity and Software Engineering. She is now a Director of Technology Risk Management where she lives through and sees the “knowledge is power” mantra in action everyday. It was in the corporate environment that Grace realized that many of the innovative, empowering and disciplined facets of the culture, would positively impact underinvested communities if translated to those communities appropriately. Innovate My World is the means to implement that vision. Grace is a robotics coach for pre teens, she has her Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Engineering, is a Certified Information Security Professional and is a Project Management Professional.
