It is Kids in Tech’s mission to excite, educate, and empower children from low-income families throughout Massachusetts to learn about technology and explore engineering concepts in order to embrace future opportunities in a growing industry. www.kidsintech.org
Our primary program is our After School Tech Clubs (ASTCs) that educate, engage and expose low income students to STEM concepts, fields and practices. ASTCs are aimed at empowering and readying students aged 8-14 by teaching computer skills and how technology is used in a professional setting. We have developed a highly successful model for the ASTCs that not only introduces youth to the basics of coding, website design, animation development, but also connects those skills to real-world careers and paths to professional success. KIT currently works in low-income school districts in Lowell, Massachusetts and is expanding its afterschool programming across the Greater Merrimack Valley, and into Boston. Guided by skilled volunteers and qualified educators, ASTCs provide kids with engaging, hands-on learning activities to expand their understanding of technology.
