Dr. Tania R. White

Educator • Author • STEM/AI & Robotics Advocate

Dr. Tania R. White is an educator, author, innovation strategist, and passionate advocate for preparing young people for a rapidly changing world. With more than three decades in education, she has dedicated her career to expanding access to STEM, artificial intelligence, robotics, wellness, and future-ready learning experiences that help students grow with confidence, curiosity, and purpose.

Through the Booster T Series, Dr. White brings that mission to early learners by blending storytelling, music, movement, social-emotional learning, and real-world robotics. Whether she is writing, speaking, leading an interactive school experience, or introducing children to humanoid robots, her goal is the same: make learning joyful, human-centered, and accessible while helping every child believe they can explore, create, and thrive in the future.

Booster T, the friendly humanoid robot

Booster T

Friendly Humanoid Robot • Curious Learner

Booster T is a friendly humanoid robot with a smooth black face, two expressive sensor eyes, a silver-and-black body, and bright orange accents around his joints. Built to move, balance, walk, gesture, and interact, Booster T brings robotics to life in a way that feels approachable and exciting for young learners.

In the Booster T series, he learns right alongside the children—asking questions, trying new things, making mistakes, and discovering that learning takes practice. Whether he is dancing the alphabet, counting, exploring colors, talking about feelings, or moving to a song, Booster T shows children that it is okay to wobble, try again, and keep learning.
