Charlee is a bright and curious young lady with a deep love for robots and all things tech. Ever since she was a kid, she's been fascinated by how machines work and dreams of building her own robot someday. At age 11, Charlee entered the foster care system, an experience that made her stronger, more independent, and deeply empathetic. Despite the challenges, she’s stayed focused on her passions and uses her creativity to imagine a future where technology can help people just like her. She later moved to Arizona to pursue her passion for robotics, drawn by new opportunities and programs that support young inventors.

Charlee really wants a pair of Meta glasses because she believes they can help her create the future she dreams of. She loves robotics and is excited about using augmented reality to bring her ideas to life. With these glasses, she could see her robot designs in 3D, play around with digital prototypes, and even test how her inventions could help real people, especially those in need, like foster youth and seniors, which is important to her. The Meta glasses also mean more than just tech. Charlee is eager to connect with other creators, join virtual workshops, and participate in global hackathons, making it easier to collaborate no matter where people are from. For Charlee, who has faced many challenges, these glasses aren't just a trendy gadget; they're a valuable tool for building inclusive technology that can truly make a difference. To her, they represent a move towards a future where technology benefits everyone.
