Are you looking for an exciting summer experience? Have you ever thought about starting your own business? Ever wanted to build a website? Does the idea of learning how to use technology excite you? Are you interested in learning how the Tech industry relates to various careers?  Do you like educational field trips and like meeting new people? If you answered YES- We'd LOVE to have you join us!
Â
Tech Needs Us is a 7- week summer enrichment program designed to :
• Equip students of color and girls from marginalized communities with relevant skills and experiences in the Tech Industry.
• Close the digital divide by providing access, resources and opportunities to bright, ambitious students with a penchant for Technology!
Â
• Equip students with technical and entrepreneurial leadership skills through hands on relevant learning and mentor-ship from tech and business professionals.
How it Works
Each week students will experience how Technology relates to a particular industry- ranging from topics such as: Sports, Art, Music, Finance, Agriculture to Entrepreneurship and Culinary Arts! Students will participate in hands on learning on Wednesdays and travel to various businesses/organizations on Fridays!
Through an individual grant from People's Liberty, Kai hosted Curiouser in 2017. Curiouser allowed high school students to explore various career opportunities over a 7 week period of time. STEM, Art, Volunteerism and Leadership were the main platforms. Kai founded the Global Learning Project (nonprofit organization) in 2013, and has hosted a 7 week summer enrichment program for the past 6 years! Kai is excited about the opportunity to offer Tech Needs Us, to those who may not otherwise have an opportunity to experience the Tech Industry.Â
