Hi everyone! I’m Violette Naa Adoley Allotey, joining you all from Accra, Ghana
. I’m a children’s product designer, edtech founder, and a storyteller at heart.
On a daily basis, I split my time between designing STEM toys (like Awo the Little Engineer), creating educational stories and games for kids, and learning Python to bring these tools to life through interactive apps. I’m also a mom, so I often find myself blending real-life play and tech with my little one
who’s my biggest source of inspiration!
I got into open-source design through my curiosity about how inclusive, culturally rooted learning tools could be shared and improved collaboratively. I love the idea of a global community shaping tools for equity in education.
I’m most excited about learning from others here, sharing ideas, and hopefully contributing some Afrocentric kid-friendly design vibes to the mix. Looking forward to collaborating!
