Lucy Tamez

Founder, CEO, & Managing Director

We founded Bright & Smart, LLC in 2005 on the premise that all children deserve a STEM education, and therefore we dedicate ourselves to preparing girls and boys in our surrounding communities for a technological future.

 

We offer students instruction and practice towards some basic engineering skills. Students learn computer-programming skills while acquainting them with design and robot building skills in a teamwork environment carefully designed for them.

 

Miss Lucy holds a B.S. in Physics Engineering and has dedicated most of her professional life to middle and high school physics education. For five years, she was Head of the Department of Sciences in a renowned K-12 institution while as an educator in Mexico.

 

The thirteen years since she founded Bright & Smart, LLC, have been devoted to research, data gathering, software-licenses procurement, curriculum structure, modeling and field-testing of all materials, techniques, and tools for the portfolios that now make up our courses. Her research includes materials from the MIT Media Lab, Carnegie Mellon Robotics Institute, Tufts Center for Engineering, Education, and Outreach, and other renowned institutions.

 

We believe that these skills, techniques, and materials, alongside a solid STEM education, will enrich and complement a better-suited program that will allow them to be able to deal with newer and ever-changing technologies.
