As the CEO of Global Moonshots in Education, she focuses on revolutionizing education through technology. Wojcicki is renowned for founding the Media Arts Program at Palo Alto High School, transforming it from a modest group of 20 students in 1984 to a powerhouse program that now includes 600 students, five additional journalism teachers, and nine award-winning journalism publications. Her role extends to serving as Vice Chair of Creative Commons and contributing regularly to The Huffington Post.
Wojcicki's influence spans various educational and technological sectors. Known as "The Godmother of Silicon Valley," her pioneering efforts in blending learning and integrating technology into education are widely acknowledged.
