Deborah Steele
Small Classes, Big Impact—STEM, Creativity & Confidence for Young Learners in a Supportive, Future-Focused Micro School!
Hello! I’m Deborah Steele, a technology leader, lifelong learner, co-owner of a Coding and Robotics center based in Brandon, FL. With a background in IT, cybersecurity, and digital transformation, I bring real-world technology experience into our learning space, helping students develop skills that will serve them in an ever-evolving world. With 30+ years of leadership in technology and innovation, I have honed my ability to mentor, inspire, and equip learners with the skills they need to thrive. My background includes leading teams, implementing innovative solutions, and fostering a growth mindset—all of which shape my approach as a Prenda Guide. I believe every child learns differently and thrives in an environment that supports their unique strengths. Traditional classrooms don’t always provide the flexibility kids need to explore and grow at their own pace. My experience at a major media organization has taught me that adaptability, innovation, and critical thinking are essential for success. I want to pass these skills on to young learners, helping them build confidence and preparing them for a bright future!
