Our Team
Meet Our Team
We are technologists, and teachers. Entrepreneurs, and makers. We genuinely love building software and hardware products that delight users.
We founded Firia Labs to share our "passion for creating" with makers everywhere. We build curriculum and tools that demystify technology so people can be creators and not just consumers in our increasingly tech-driven world.

Revolutionizing EdTech
Our Approach
Our educational program creates real-world learning experiences for students through:
Open-Ended Hardware
Physical hardware used to implement meaningful projects that students can extend well beyond the curriculum.
Text-Based Python
Students learn real Python from day one -- guided step-by-step with tools that help catch errors and debug programs.
Maker Mindset
Project-based curriculum grounded in creating new physical devices and tinkering with existing ones.
Standards & Research
Our program draws from CSTA, ISTE, K-12 CS Framework, AP CS A, AP CS Principles, NGSS, and the UK National Curriculum to inform a well-rounded and pedagogically sound instructional approach.
