Meet the Founder
Inspiring a love for STEM, no matter who you are.
Hi, I’m Ryn Cruz, founder of Polaris Labs. I’ve spent years organizing STEM events, coaching international competition teams, and teaching coding, circuitry, and robotics. As a former officer for the Society of Women Engineers in Phoenix, I helped lead programs like “Coding with My Girls” and saw firsthand how the right support can change a student’s path. With 5 years of education experience and a passion for K–12 STEM and professional development, I started Polaris Labs to fill the gaps in STEM education and to inspire a love for STEM—no matter who you are or where you’re starting from.
