We excite, educate, and empower kids in tech.
Kids in Tech makes it possible for children ages 8 to 14 in low-income households to acquire skills and confidence in technology through interactive after school programs.
For the future of tech
Our programs focus on helping kids develop the necessary tech skills and aptitudes to participate in and be future leaders of the 21st-century innovation economy.
Science, Engineering, Technology and Math (STEM) education changes the future. The demand for STEM professionals is projected to grow, but many kids don't have the access to the education they need.
The Kids in Tech mission is to:
Excite
kids about learning.
Educate
kids with the skills they need for the careers of the future.
Empower
kids to learn problem solving and critical thinking skills to be innovators.
Hours outside school are essential.
By 6th grade, kids in low-income households have spent six thousand fewer hours in after-school and summer learning than their peers in middle-income households.
Just 19% of Massachusetts kids have access to after-school programming.
