Inside a Tech Club session

Hands-on builds

Kids build things, take them apart, and build again — learning by doing rather than by lecture.

Coding & engineering

Club members learn what engineers and coders actually do, including activities like programming a self-driving car.

Field trips

Members visit real tech workplaces and meet the people who work there — past trips have included IBM.

Positive role models

Free educational opportunities, community support, and role models kids need to engage with STEM in school and beyond.

In their own words

I did not think I was going to like Tech Club at first, but it is really fun and interesting. I like that we get to build things, tear them apart, and build again. We also go on field trips and see real tech people at their jobs. I get to learn things that I do not learn in school.

Where Tech Clubs meet

Kids ages 8 to 14 gather in small groups right at their school site, guided by professional educators and skilled volunteers. The kids get a say in what they learn — from coding to audiovisual production, wearable tech to robotics.
