DevLand Academy: Play different.
A boy grows up labeled “hyperactive,” “distracted,” even “unteachable.” He never does his homework; he has no fancy tech degree. Fast-forward: That boy grows up to build a robotics company and an AI platform. That boy was me. I beat the odds because I found my passion in coding and robotics outside the classroom. Now, I’ve created DevLand Academy to give every misunderstood kid that same chance. The ones who were called disruptive might be the ones to disrupt industries.
