As someone who has always been passionate about video games and programming, I understand the profound impact that education and mentorship can have on aspiring developers and creators. This understanding throughout my time in school and starting my college courses inspired me to launch a scholarship program in 2017, which you can learn more about on my website, Amie DD Scholarship Fund. Let me take you through the reasons behind this initiative and how it aims to support the next generation of women tech wizards.

“Philanthropy is about giving, donating your time, money, experience, knowledge, skills, or talent to better the world. I give because even when I feel like it’s not a lot, I’m reminded that it’s enough and that I still have something to give that can impact and change the future of just one girl. Regardless of your status or net worth anyone can be a philanthropist. I wish my legacy to be impactful in a way that my work and projects I share inspire or move people to change something in their lives or to be moved to make something magical that inspires and helps others. I may not be able to change the world, but I can try to inspire enough people to remind them that they are worth pursuing knowledge.” - Amie Dansby
