I’ve been a little quiet here for the past couple of weeks and took some time away from everything.
One thing I’ve learned is that grief isn’t always about something coming to an end. Sometimes, you grieve the things that could have been, the things you wish you had done differently, and the things you wish you could still change. I never thought about grief that way before.

"Hardware used to be just something we learned in class... IDEEZA made it possible."
The community showed up for Builder’s Labe even in the tough weather! Bethel Addisu (Women Techmakers Ambassador & event co-organizer) shared her thoughts on why testing products with real users at community events is key to building better tech.
She also gave us a peek into her personal project—a companion drone designed to act as a physical "second brain"—and how tools like IDEEZA are breaking down the traditional barriers of hardware development.
Don't miss the next session:

Last night, on my way home, I ended up having one of those unexpected conversations with a ride driver.
I usually prefer not to talk during rides. I like the quiet. But he was easy to talk to, so we started talking about work and how he became a mechanic.
He told me he dropped out of school when he was in 7th grade.
Apparently, he had gotten a very low mark in biology but a very good mark in physics. His biology and physics teachers were friends, and after seeing his grades, one of them basically told him, “You’re a stupid student.”
But the physics teacher disagreed. He told his friend, “He’s not stupid. He’s actually very smart. He understands things when he can experiment with them and work with his hands.”
Then the biology teacher told him something along the lines of, “Then go learn it. You shouldn’t be here.”
He was around 11 years old.
And he never went back to school.
He started working as a mechanic at a very young age, learned different crafts, earned his own money, and eventually built a life around practical work.
What surprised me most wasn't even the story.
It was what he said at the end.
He said he was grateful to that teacher.
I was honestly shocked.
Because from the outside, what that teacher did was completely wrong. An 11-year-old child struggling with a subject should not be labelled stupid or pushed out of school. There are children who learn differently, children with learning difficulties, children who need different methods, and children who simply haven't discovered what they're good at yet.
And this made me think about our education system.
A lot of our schooling rewards remembering information more than actually understanding it. I remember realizing this myself when I was young: if I memorized something well enough, I could get a good grade, and then forget most of it a few weeks later.
I don't think that's learning.
But there's another part of his story that stayed with me.
Something that was meant to put him down ended up pushing him toward something he genuinely loves.
The teacher wasn't right for the reason he thought he was right. The method was cruel, and the words were damaging. But somehow, that moment redirected this child's life toward something he turned out to be exceptionally good at.
And that's complicated.
Sometimes life gives us things that were meant to break us, and somehow we build something beautiful with them.
That doesn't make the thing that hurt us good.
It just means we can sometimes turn even the things that were weaponized against us into something that belongs to us.
His story made me think about how many children we've called “stupid” simply because they weren't good at the things our education system decided were important.
And how many of them might actually be brilliant at something we never gave them the chance to discover.
