TechPoint Youth Announces Jamie Inskeep as President & CEO
TechPoint Youth is thrilled to announce the appointment of Jamie Inskeep as President and Chief Executive Officer. With more than 20 years of STEM education experience, a proven record of statewide impact, and five and a half years of leadership within TechPoint Youth, her appointment is a natural and deeply meaningful evolution.
Jamie's path to this moment began in an Indiana classroom. During a 16-year career as a teacher, curriculum specialist, and robotics coach, she developed a deep belief in the power of hands-on learning to change a young person's trajectory. In 2016, during the first year of TechPoint Youth's statewide robotics initiative, Jamie was among the very first teachers to receive a robotics grant from the organization. The TPY team trained her, equipped her classroom, and sent her off, not knowing they were investing in the person who would one day lead them. Jamie then guided her team to tournament champion honors at the 2019 Indiana Robotics State Championship, watching her students discover confidence and find their voices on the very competition floor she would later help shape. That clarity of purpose followed her when she joined TechPoint Youth in 2020.
Rising from Director of Programs to Vice President to Chief Operating Officer, Jamie has shaped TechPoint Youth from the ground up. She launched the In-Classroom Robotics Initiative and extended the organization's reach into all 92 Indiana counties. Her strategic leadership of the Indiana Robotics State Championship helped grow it into a marquee annual event reaching thousands of students and educators statewide. Perhaps most significantly, she expanded Xplore, the program that completes TechPoint Youth's STEM success pathway by bridging the gap between classroom and career. Jamie equipped Xplore to give high school students their first real connection to the workforce they're preparing to enter. It's where everything TechPoint Youth builds toward finally meets the companies where these students will one day work.
Jamie's commitment to community extends well beyond her work at TechPoint Youth. Six years ago, she founded Empowering Indy, a nonprofit that supports Indianapolis families in need by connecting them to resources that create lasting stability. She has built and sustained the organization from the ground up, developing donor relationships, securing funding, and growing community support year after year. What began as a single Christmas event serving 24 children now raises approximately $50,000 annually and reaches nearly 1,000 children and over 300 families each year. It's a reflection of the same belief that drives her professionally: that every person deserves access to the support and opportunity they need to succeed.
Those who work alongside Jamie describe her as someone who leads with grace, empathy, and a deep sense of purpose. She balances passion and direction, approaching every challenge with clarity and genuine care. Her systems thinking turns vision into reality. Her commitment to equity ensures no student is an afterthought. And her ability to cultivate a culture of collaboration makes the people around her better.
Over five and a half years, Jamie has become the operational heart of TechPoint Youth, and now, she becomes its voice and its vision.
As President & CEO, Jamie will guide TechPoint Youth through an exciting period of growth. This next phase will be focused on deepening statewide reach, expanding access for all students, and securing the long-term sustainability that will carry this mission forward for generations.
"I am deeply honored to lead an organization that has meant so much to me personally and professionally," said Jamie Inskeep, President & CEO. “I came to TechPoint Youth because of what it did for students like the ones I taught and coached, and I am wholeheartedly committed to advancing this mission and expanding its impact.”
Kristina Simkins, Board President, shared the board's enthusiasm. "Jamie has been central to TechPoint Youth's growth since the day she joined us. She has lived this mission as an educator, a coach, and the operational cornerstone of this organization. Her dedication, vision, and ability to inspire those around her make her the ideal person to lead us into our most impactful chapter yet."
