Mission Statement

Preparing Youth for 21st Century Careers

We are a non-profit society that helps prepare today’s youth for future careers (in technology or otherwise) by teaching them how to think critically, build empathy, and navigate complex and ambiguous problems to create value. 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.

The Team

We are a team of professionals ― designers and developers ― working in the local (and not so local!) technology industry. We volunteer our time on a weekly basis because we are passionate about:

  • Using our talents and skills to help and inspire the next generation,

  • Working with a bunch of like-minded professionals as we teach and mentor high school students, and

  • Having lots of fun!
