Teens Exploring Technology
Los Angeles, CA
We serve young men of color between the 7th and 11th grade who are from low income communities. Since 2010 we’ve used the concept of developing strong teams as a way for our young men to learn about collaboration, ideation, and long-lasting life skills. In small teams our youths learn the process of taking an idea from concept to market.
We use coding as the catalyst that can take young men of color and turn them into technology leaders who build positive communities. To us, computer programming is the tool that helps our teens learn how to learn, to develop discipline, and to build confidence.
