Hi, I’m Allison Walker!

As a mom of three preschool and elementary children, Allison was constantly seeking out enrichment programs to fill the kids’ time after school and during school breaks. When the opportunity came around to bring Challenge Island to the city of New Orleans she knew it was the STEM program she was looking for and that children would love it!

After a successful 15-year career in business to business sales, consulting, and marketing, Allison witnessed firsthand the rapid changes in the corporate world’s desired skill-sets of new college graduates. Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math skills are in high demand and only getting more scarce. Allison’s dream is to see today’s New Orleans elementary children leading the future community development projects in infrastructure, business, and scientific discovery.
