From STEM Student to Tech Entrepreneur: The Journey of Andon Russell

By: Sunnie Dawn Baker 

When Andon Russell joined the Chickasaw Nation STEM Academy at age eight, he had no way of knowing where this journey would lead him. Now, at 18, Russell is a tech entrepreneur with his own company and a big vision for the future. None of this would have been possible without the STEM training he received and the mentorship and support of his teacher, Luke Kerr. Now, with his own business, he strives to grow his company while also helping support the overall economic well-being of Ada.
