| Occupation | Creator of Flock XR |
| Introduction | I'm Tracy, creator of Flock XR — a free, open source 3D spatial computing tool for young people — and co-founder of Flip Computing. Inclusion-first, because the future isn't just about AI. I won a BCS Distinguished Dissertations award for my PhD in programming language design and spent years as a software architect at IBM before moving into tech education. I co-chair the Ecosystem working group at the Metaverse Standards Forum focusing on 3D skills, and played a key role in the Google Blockly Accessibility project. I worked at the Raspberry Pi Foundation for 7 years, writing projects for Code Club and CoderDojo. I've written many technology books for young people, including micro:bit in Wonderland. I run workshops at the Royal Institution and am a Women in Games ambassador. First in my family to get educational qualifications. On a mission to make sure all young people have the tools and opportunity to create with technology and shape society. |
