Technology has made itself apart of every aspect of our lives today, and the students who understand it are the ones who know about the versatility, earning potential and career demand behind it.
Our workshops aim to give students exposure to technology outside of traditional book learning. The implementation of our programs in communities helps close the gender and race gap by problem solving, logical thinking and the ability to abstract.
By being able to think logically, you can better connect ideas together.

SDLC Accelerator

The SDLC accelerator program introduces development lifecycle concepts through a progress pipeline. Managing a modern SDLC project requires a thorough understanding of the various roles that must come together in order to create a successful application. This understanding begins by recognizing the need to work within a multidisciplinary environment. Our accelerator is five week, project-based intermediate training that builds leadership and in-demand workforce skills by providing students with mentorship and opportunities for meaningful collaboration with industry professionals. Program participants have access to various technical roles that engage and encourage the growth of their critical thinking, problem-solving, and analytical skills.
'IT Girl' Summer Series

The ‘IT Girl’ Summer Series is a four week digital and hands on learning camp for girls ages 8-16 to learn in-demand technology concepts. Over the course of four weeks students gain knowledge of a technical concept, that ultimately allows them to apply those skills into a project the final week of camp. Additionally, our summer camp focuses on discovering, pursuing, and succeeding in technology through the exposure of technical concepts. Students do not need to have any prior technical experience, and all materials will be provided. We ask all students at least have a strong desire to learn more about tech.
