10 years of Building Our Tech means 10 years of stories like Dr. Maya Byfield's. 🎉
Maya is a STEM professor and founder of Phenomenal STEM(ist) and Associates. She came to BOT looking for a way to bring new technology into her classroom, and found a whole community ready to help.
"They were really great at training and teaching us exactly what's going on in technology... and they were open to all, everyone, whether you have experience in technology or not."
Through her BOT cohort, Maya picked up new skills (hi, Canva 👋) that transformed her classroom AND her business. Now she's back on our panels, mentoring the next wave of STEM leaders.
It's National Workforce Development Month, and we couldn't think of a better way to celebrate.
Recently, BOT attended and vendored at the National Entrepreneurship Center’s Built To Win Summit!🚀 There, we learned about ways individuals can persevere and differentiate themselves while nurturing their businesses.💓 Thank you to NEC for having us!🌟

Jena Mehlberg has been in the beauty industry her whole life. She started her first business at 19 and now owns Catalyst Beauty Group and Orlando Spray Tans. What she didn't have was the tech side of running a business, and she felt that gap for years.
Then she found BOT.
Today Jena has real sales pipelines, understands what a CRM actually does, and is even experimenting with AI agents. She's now consulting with salon owners and beauty professionals on fixing their own tech, and she just registered for BOT's tech sales program to go even further.
But when we asked her to describe BOT in one word, she didn't say "tech." She said "belonging."
"I used to come to the events and think, I'm not supposed to be here. But everybody made me feel included, really listened to me, and tried to help me. It's been wonderful. I highly recommend it."
That's what BOT is built to do: meet you where you are and help you grow from there. 💛

What's in a name? Everything. ✨
We named this gala Brilliance in Orbit on purpose.
For ten years, people have orbited Building Our Tech coming in for the education, the training, the community and then going back out into the world as shining diamonds in their own careers and startups. 💎
BOT may be the center of it all, but this gala isn't about us. It's about celebrating everyone who has gone out into space and let their brilliance lead the way.
And here's the part that gets us every time: so many of you haven't just moved on, you've become catalysts in your own orbits. Mentoring. Hiring. Training the next person who walks through our doors. Carrying what you learned here in Orlando out across the country — growing this ecosystem, this constellation, far beyond Central Florida and bigger and brighter with every year.
That's what Brilliance in Orbit means. Not just where you started, but everywhere you've gone since. 🌌
Ten years of orbits. Countless stars, coast to coast. One night to celebrate them all.
