Overview
We live in a world where technology is growing exponentially and reinventing every aspect of our lives. New industries are being born, and old ones are going obsolete. A high percentage of the jobs that today’s young learners will be doing in the future do not exist, and 45% of today’s jobs will be automated using current technologies. Learning about those changes and developing the skills and mindsets needed to thrive and adapt is key to our youth’s future success.
Through education, awareness, and accessibility, we help develop a digitally literate and future-ready generation prepared to navigate the rapidly growing technology landscape.
Our programming is geared towards the future, with a focus on technology, and is designed to inspire and empower the next generation of innovators, creators, and tech leaders. We are committed to prioritizing historically disadvantaged groups, as we believe that technology could further exacerbate existing disparities. By providing opportunities for these groups to participate in the digital revolution, we hope to create a more inclusive tech-driven future.
