Join me IN MY WORKSHOP
Unlike flashy celebrity-driven course platforms with pre-recorded video playlists where you don’t get direct access to the creator, I open up my workshop, software, notebooks and more to show you exactly how it’s done – step-by-step, LIVE, and in real-time – so you can create alongside me and chat during and in between live streams.

Explore and Invent With Me
Rachel De Barros
I’m a life-long STEAM enthusiast and backyard inventor with a passion for telling stories through my hands. It was through teaching and building projects on Youtube that I was discovered by Motor Trend and Science Channel (Discovery) to serve as a STEM educator and on-air expert.
I enjoy working on everything from art and workshop projects to electronics and technology. As a result, I’m able to connect with audiences in an authentic and relatable manner through personal stories, lessons learned and practical tips and advice not found on any script.
