We guide them as they put these skills into practice through building technology products, leveraging industry standard tools, and giving them valuable insights into future career options. Core Principles * We actively seek youth that may not be drawn naturally to technology, dispel commonly held misconceptions, and show them that a future career in technology may be a viable option. * We assemble teams of professionals (working in local technology companies) who give back to this next generation by teaching, mentoring and sharing their experiences. * We partner with educators and community leaders to bridge the gap in today’s technology education.
