Hi! I'm Emma, a 19-year-old maker and content creator from Italy.

I graduated from a computer science high school and am currently enrolled in a Computer Science Engineering University in my city. I love developing projects in robotics, tech, and AI that I share on my YouTube channel, Ametista, and present at fairs and events.

I’ve been invited to give two TED Talks (coming in October 2026). I currently collaborate with tech companies and public institutions such as universities and hospitals.

After participating in hackathons around the world at SpaceX, Google, Duolingo HQ, Shanghai, Silicon Valley, and AdventureX in Hangzhou, I now work with Hack Club, where I organize events.

In December 2025, I entirely organized "Moonshot", a hackathon at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. I am currently leading the organization of "Jackpot" an upcoming hackathon in Las Vegas.
