TECH CORPS delivers meaningful, career-connected technology programs that create opportunities for K-12 students and educators.
We believe ALL K-12 students should have access to meaningful career-connected technology learning experiences. TECH CORPS imagines a world where every student has the skills, confidence and opportunities to unlock the door to a successful future.
Our work to achieve this vision centers around three core pillars: Programs, People and Partners.
PROGRAMS: We design engaging, rigorous and relevant career-connected technology programs that span from awareness to exploration to immersion.
PEOPLE: We recruit, train and support technology talent to deliver TECH CORPS programs.
PARTNERS: We work with like-minded partners to provide students and educators with access to programs designed to educate, excite, and empower.
- Students discover the connection between the technology they love to use and the educational and career pathways involved in its creation.
- Students historically underrepresented in technology have safe and supportive learning environments where they can explore, experiment, and develop essential technology skills and knowledge.
- Educators receive the professional development, curriculum resources, and support they need to effectively integrate high-quality technology programs into their classrooms, ensuring rigor and alignment with student learning.
- Students graduate high school prepared to pursue technology-related degrees, credentials, and careers.
