Schools have two choices: innovate or fall behind.

Steven Iglesias, the Director of Innovation & Technology, and self proclaimed educational disruptor, has been building a revolutionary STEM and technology program for kids at Doral Academy Preparatory School in Miami, FL.

"I never set out to be in education—it happened by accident. I began my career as a baseball coach and a security guard. Next, I transitioned into teaching and later became an administrator. But technology? That was different. My eyes were opened to the power of exponential technologies, and I realized I had a passion for helping students and educators navigate a rapidly evolving world.
"Since then, I’ve built robotics and engineering, computer science, social media, biomedical engineering, video game and esports design, cybersecurity, and AI programs—not just to keep up with the future, but to help students create it. I’ve designed innovation centers and hands-on learning spaces, ensuring that schools don’t just teach about technology but immerse students in real-world applications. And along the way, I’ve helped teams win at the highest levels, including as an XPRIZE Connect finalist and winner.
"The world is changing fast. I’m here to make sure education isn’t left behind."
