Youth Voices Matter
You can't be what you can't see. Delve into the world of technology and engineering for social change as I uncover new possibilities as a young woman and minority in engineering. By sharing tales of invention, experimentation, overcoming adversity, and robotics, I work to inspire the next generation of STEM leaders and corporations committed to making our world a better place.





Where I've Spoken
Whether it be keynoting an industry event or emceeing a robotics competition, I bring enthusiasm, passion, and drive to each event I speak at. I've shared the stage with Bill Gates, Dr. Jane Goodall, and Dean Kamen and have spoken in front of tens of thousands of attendees. I have done talks and keynotes for Usher's New Look, Captain Planet Foundation, the UN's Girl Up Summit, Born This Way Foundation, Dassault Systemes (SOLIDWORKS), Earth Island Institute, Natives in Tech, Girls Inc., She's The First, Intrepid Sea, Air, and Space Museum, the California Institute of Technology, the American Indian Science and Engineering Society, and many more.
What People Are Saying
"First of all, I respect her for being so open and vulnerable about the experiences she has had but also how she used them to pursue robotics. Her work is really a testament to how age is just a number and influence comes from unmatched dedication."

Dear Danielle,
Our team at Michigan Youth Empowerment can not thank you enough for being a speaker at the Inspiring Role Models Conference! From being such an amazing mentor during our middle school robotics team (it's been so long!) and following your journey through LinkedIn and Instagram, I just knew that I had to invite you as a speaker when we decided to plan this event! Being able to work with you the past month, and watching your talk on Saturday was such an amazing experience. I am so honored to have had the opportunity to work with you!
The response we’ve gotten from attendees has been amazing! I'm currently teaching a few programming and robotics classes and I invited all of my students to come attend your talk as well, and they loved it!
Once again, thank you so much for speaking and inspiring youth at the IRM Conference this weekend. Good luck at The STEAM Connection — I’m excited to see what your organization accomplishes next under your incredible leadership! I would love to keep in touch!
Sincerely,
Angela Xu
Co-President at Michigan Youth Empowerment Foundation's Leadership Committee
