As AI reshapes the workforce, what skills matter, and how do we prepare the next generation to thrive amid constant change?

In this episode of The Riveter Roundtable, Brittany sits down with Donna Kruse, CEO of Savvy Technologies and Philanthropy Committee Chair of Cloud Girls, for a candid conversation about the realities of today’s tech landscape. From real-world workflows to the growing disconnect between education and industry, Donna shares frontline insights from advising IT leaders navigating disruption every day.

Whether you’re an educator, employer, parent, or student, this episode offers a grounded, hopeful look at how humans, not just machines, will define the future of work.

In this episode, Brittany is joined by educators Joyce and Edy to explore how early STEM access transforms students, families, and entire communities. Their stories highlight the real impact of hands-on opportunities, especially in schools where resources can be limited.

As we approach Giving Tuesday, this episode offers a clear look at the impact supporters make possible, and why expanding this work matters more than ever.

We’re kicking off The Riveter Roundtable with a story that soars!

In this episode, we chat with Hope Dixon—one of our very first Rosie Riveters—who went from building a satellite in elementary school to earning a full-ride to Georgia Tech for aerospace engineering.

Together, we look back on a decade of breaking STEM stereotypes, building confidence, and creating opportunities for young people to learn and lead.

This conversation shines a light on the power of community and mentorship in helping the next generation of innovators take flight, and we encourage you to pull up a chair and join us.
