Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolAngela Chang is a founder, inventor, and engineer with 14 years of experience building haptic, wearable, and app-based products that make learning playful and collaborative. As CEO of TinkerStories and a former MIT Media Lab researcher and postdoc, she translated PhD research into gesturally controlled storytelling apps that help parents teach emergent literacy through “tinkerability.” Her background spans mechanical and software prototyping—from patents and mobile UI concepts at Motorola to interactive clothing and sensor-driven artifacts exhibited nationally—blending rigorous research with hands-on production. She also mentors communities and teaches atelier-style creative learning, having lived and tutored at MIT while running local technology education and arts outreach. Unusually, her work focuses on lowering the barrier to tinkering so non‑hackers can become makers, combining aesthetic design with scaffolded learning trajectories deployed in low‑SES and international contexts.
