Huggins’s passion for innovation and technology became evident early as she watched her father build computers from scratch without formal computer engineering experience. Throughout her life, she has embraced challenges, pushed boundaries, and carved a path of excellence for herself.

Huggins led the development of the first tech entrepreneurship course which teachers within the Ontario education system actively teach. Tech Spark has served thousands of students in Canada and the US.

Harnessing the power of AI to drive the transformation of the education system, Huggins created Spark Plug, which transforms complex subjects into modern language that resonates with Gen Z. In 2022, Huggins became the first woman to raise over a million dollars to build a personalized learning platform driven by student culture, data, and AI.

Under her leadership as CEO, the company has achieved remarkable success, gaining recognition for its cutting-edge curriculum and products. Huggins’s strategic vision and ability to identify emerging market trends have positioned the company as a leader in its field.
