MISSION
TECH CORPS expands access to the opportunities technology creates through hands-on, career-connected learning experiences.
VISION
TECH CORPS imagines a world where every student has the skills, confidence, and opportunity to build their own path to a successful future.
TECH CORPS envisions a world where every student has the skills, confidence, and opportunities to unlock the door to a successful future. We believe all K-12 students should have access to meaningful career-connected technology learning experiences.
Our work to achieve this vision centers around three core pillars:
PROGRAMS: We design engaging, rigorous, and relevant career-connected technology programs that span from awareness to exploration to immersion.
PEOPLE: We train and support educators and volunteers 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 furthest from opportunity 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.
