About Shannon Seaver
Relentless about driving equity and innovation in education, Shannon brings 20+ years of experience as an educator, nonprofit leader, and founder focused on building meaningful pathways into STEM and tech careers. As Executive Director of createMPLS and co-founder of FULL STEM — a startup bridging industry and education through hands-on, immersive learning experiences — she specializes in connecting talent, tech, and opportunity. Shannon serves on the Hennepin County Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Board, advocating for youth employment access and helping shape workforce policy that better serves the region's diverse communities. Her work bridges systems — education, workforce, and industry — to make tech careers more inclusive, attainable, and rooted in community voice. She is currently developing an AI-integrated learning management system that adapts in real time to learner needs — offering personalized feedback, multilingual accessibility, and generative AI-driven content design. This project reflects her belief that AI should amplify human learning, not replace it — making tech education more equitable, flexible, and future-ready. Shannon leads collaborative initiatives with partners like Genesys Works, MnTech, school districts, and foundations, designing AI-integrated curriculum, coaching BIPOC professionals into CS education, and building real-world programming that prepares students not just for jobs, but for leadership. As Co-Founder of The AI Whisperers, she brings customized AI conferences directly to organizations — featuring expert speakers tailored to their specific challenges. Through partnerships with universities, she equips teachers with AI literacy training that earns graduate credit, using the comprehensive Tailoredu platform. Technical Expertise includes full-stack architecture, AI-driven personalization, accessibility engineering (text-to-speech, multilingual support, adaptive UI, keyboard-first navigation), DevSecOps & CI/CD automation using GitHub Actions, and rapid prototyping via Lovable.dev.
