Coleman’s dedication to the public school system dates back to her childhood.
She spent the majority of her teaching career at Bloom High School before moving into an administrative role.
“I want to reach these underrepresented groups without the hassle directly.”

Coleman also started her company because she wants to see students have more fun with STEAM.
Coleman believes the pandemic was beneficial to schools because it challenged them to be different.
Taking some of the organization’s programming virtual also gave After the Peanut more support from the community.

The organization received 30 Samsung tablet devices to help students run coding programs.
Each week will focus on different topics from engineering to robotics, arts, and more.
The organization is bootstrapped, with some financial help through grants from the local government.
One of Coleman’s other focuses is releasing a financial literacy app for young people.
The app will launch in the fall, and Coleman hopes to raise venture capital to support that.
Above all, Coleman wants to reach more minority students and inspire them to choose STEAM career paths.
