Building the next generation of STEAM trailblazers

We empower under-resourced youth in the Washington, DC area through technology and art education to promote equity and help students reach their full potential.

We imagine a world where all students have access to the skillsets of tomorrow, today.

We envision a place where everyone – regardless of socioeconomic status – can learn from a network of technology professionals to gain life-changing experiences that provide endless opportunities. Our programs explore the intersection of technology, art, and cultural diversity while providing students the skills they need for a pathway to a bright future.
