Juliette Bautista, a visionary leader and passionate advocate for STEM education, founded Club Ability to address the lack of accessible tech programs for underserved families and individuals with special needs in Utah. This innovative platform enables families to collaboratively explore technology—ranging from video games and animation to 3D modeling and audiovisual design—while empowering their businesses and celebrating their cultural heritage. A significant aspect of Club Ability is its commitment to linguistic diversity, promoting bilingual learning in both Spanish and English, which enriches the educational experience and fosters family and cultural bonding.
Under the "Tech for All" mission, Club Ability has become a transformative force, preparing participants for the STEM careers of tomorrow. Initiatives like the "Triunfa en Tecnología" conference, the "El Poder de la Tecnología" podcast, and exclusive field trips to leading tech firms, alongside a detailed report on the Hispanic community's tech needs in Utah, underscore its comprehensive approach to digital inclusion. Since its inception in 2019, Club Ability has supported nearly 2,000 students, demonstrating the profound impact of its programs.
Her efforts have earned her prestigious recognitions such as the Women Tech Council Award Utah Living Color Awards , Tumi Award and the Governor's Medal for Science and Technology. These accolades reflect her unwavering commitment to breaking down barriers in technology fields. Juliette considers her family her greatest achievement, which fuels her passion for making STEM accessible to everyone, underscoring the importance of personal connections in driving societal change.
