He also founded Woz U, a platform dedicated to democratizing access to technology education. A lifelong champion of STEM learning, he has invested decades supporting programs that bring science and computing to young minds. His autobiography, iWoz: From Computer Geek to Cult Icon, became a New York Times bestseller and remains an inspiration for engineers and entrepreneurs worldwide.
