But Michelle’s journey began long before her community exploded to over 85,000 followers on Instagram and 60,000 on TikTok. From a young age, Michelle was in love with Computer Science— the logic of it, the study of it, and the limitless possibilities it allowed for. It was this love for Computer Science that led her to join a lecturer in Computational Theory, Pablo Frank Bolton, along with another Smithie, Liberty Lehr, to publish research in computer science education, exploring a more effective approach to assess students in STEM.
Michelle Lawson is a leader in the conversation. At TechCrunch Disrupt 2024, she will be hosting two roundtable sessions, focusing on building communities online, especially within the Gen Z audience. As someone who has successfully grown a thriving online community, Michelle Lawson is eager to share her insights with others looking to build meaningful, engaged audiences in the digital age.
Earlier this year, she gave a workshop at Tufts University’s Women in Tech conference titled “The Internship Playbook,” a comprehensive guide on how to approach the internship search process, a process a lot of students today find challenging. She believes in logical conversations, that don't just address te struggles and successes, but show step-by-step how one can navigate through it all.
