Metta Tech Guides
Mentors, Facilitators, and Creative Thinkers
At Metta Tech Dojo, guides are not traditional teachers. They are practitioners, mentors, and facilitators—people with real-world experience who are passionate about supporting young learners as they explore, question, and create. Our guides come from a variety of backgrounds, offering expertise in technology, storytelling, movement, social impact, and systems change.
Rather than lecture, guides work alongside students, offering mentorship, inspiration, and frameworks for inquiry. They help students develop skills, confidence, and curiosity as they chart their own learning journeys.
