Biography

Hi, I’m Brittany Robinson 👋 an Instructional Experience Designer, Learning Strategist, and Whovian. I work at the intersection of education, marketing, UX/UI, and software engineering for corporate and academia. I specialize in tech courses, coding bootcamps, and programming apprenticeships for virtual, blended, or online learning.

With over 15 years of experience in Instructional Design, Technical Training, and Adult Learning Theory, I design and develop training materials, curricula, learning campaigns, and websites for industries spanning tech, finance, manufacturing, healthcare, government, and correctional institutions.

My marketing campaign background allows me to create custom-built learning campaigns that overcome the Forgetting Curve. With a career spanning marketing, graphic & web design, technical training, and curriculum development, I always strive to make learning fun yet professional and effective yet memorable.

Loves: Unreal Engine; magenta hair; teaching kids to code; encouraging women to pursue tech jobs

Superpowers: meeting tight deadlines in fast-paced environments. (I know it doesn’t have a ring to it, but “leaping tall buildings in a single bound” was taken…)

Hobbies: building video games and augmented reality (AR) experiences, and traveling the world with my husband and our two Wonder Dogs (Ella and Luv)

Stats: In my home state of Kentucky, I’ve designed, implemented, and facilitated numerous coding bootcamps that have sold out with waitlists, including Kentucky and Indiana's first CoderDojo, and first all-girls Minecraft code camp. My code bootcamps consistently receive rave reviews from learners and parents alike, and I’ve been ranked in four separate “top ten lists” of national tech bootcamps. To date, I’ve taught 700+ Appalachian youths and reached an estimated 16,000 global learners, 75% of whom are female. Coming full circle, I’ve helped Kentucky’s Lt. Governor create a STEM program for middle school girls, including the same school I attended while teaching myself to code.

Giving Back

I believe in the power of local, grassroots efforts to address systemic issues. I love a good underdog story. And I know I’m not the only one who feels this way. A diverse population of people are underestimated, untapped, and underrepresented in the tech and FinTech fields. That's why I create tech ed for the rest of us — technology education aimed at helping women, BIPOC, LGBTQ, neurodivergent, differently-abled, intersectional, and other untapped populations break into new careers.

As I build my career, standing on the shoulders of the women who came before me, I also reach back to open doors for the next generation of innovators and entrepreneurs. Together, we can change ratios, break glass ceilings, alleviate poverty cycles, and close the digital divide. Let’s chat about how we can partner to build a more equitable, inclusive tech industry.

Women in Tech JEDI (Justice, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion) Meetup Group
One of the vibrant communities and meetup groups I’ve helped run over the years was a quarterly Women in Tech JEDI (Justice, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion) Meetup Group. During the COVID-19 pandemic between 2020-2021, women in tech met virtually over Zoom every quarter to discuss how to bring more women into the tech & STEM fields, how to teach more girls and women to code, how to improve job opportunities and working environments for all women (including but not limited to: working mothers, trans women, indigenous women, unhoused women, women of color, women identifying as queer, etc.), and how to bring more equity and inclusion of diverse, intersectional women into the tech field. Participants included thought leaders from Adobe, Verizon, Salesforce, Dropbox, Treehouse, Pluralsight, Fidelity, and more.

Board of Advisors

An Egyptian woman-owned EdTech startup with roots in both Africa and Kentucky, Edulga is a social educational platform powered by generative AI. In December 2023, I joined Edulga's Board of Advisors, serving as a business strategy consultant and advising the international team as they pitch Edulga to investors and business partners. At the forefront of a revolutionary transformation in generative curriculum design, Edulga's team of instructional designers, software engineers, and learning engineers harnesses the power of machine learning and human-centered algorithms to facilitate the evolution of students into lifelong learners. The upcoming app will empower teachers as content creators and curators, transform schools into dynamic learning environments, and enable all participating institutions to collectively shape a global knowledge repository.

Causes I Support

In addition to helping underrepresented, underestimated, and marginalized people break into STE(A)M and FinTech careers, I also enjoy giving back to my local communities, volunteering, activism, advocacy, planning and attending local grassroots events, and donating to charities and nonprofits that align with my personal values. These are some of the groups that I am proud to support. Please consider donating, volunteering, and spreading the word to support these great causes.
