KeyBank Volunteers

We are incredibly grateful for the opportunity that Cleveland high school students had this summer. Thanks to a TECH CORPS program called Student WEB CORPS, they were able to gain hands-on experience designing websites. Over 40 KeyBank volunteers helped nearly 80 students learn valuable skills for their future. We are grateful to KeyBank for their partnership and commitment to empowering the next generation of tech leaders.

Ohio Tech Day

Ohio Tech Day is a celebration of the people, companies, and ideas that make Ohio tech possible. TECH CORPS, with support from FirstEnergy Foundation, will give 100 Unplugged kits to Longfellow Middle School students in Lorain (OH) on Sept 29. Unplugged kits include games and activities that teach a wide range of technology concepts in a fun yet challenging way. Students can use the games and activities alone or with family and friends to explore topics ranging from algorithms to virtual reality.
