From mechanical engineering to 22 years of transforming lives in the classroom, Colleen Henry is a total force of nature.

We are so beyond proud to celebrate her as the recipient of the Hello World 2026 Catalyst for Change Award! As a Computer Science teacher at KIPP Austin Academy of Arts & Letters, Colleen was honored for her relentless commitment to opening doors and building true confidence in her students.

From founding our first Girls Who Code chapter to championing CS for every student, her impact is the definition of life-changing. Just look at Nathalia, who started in Colleen's class doubting her own abilities and is now headed to Boston University for computer engineering. This is what happens when a teacher refuses to let a student give up on themselves. Colleen, thank you for making tech and AI literacy a "right now" reality for our KIPPsters.

Join us in congratulating our very own Colleen Henry!
