For The Future of Tech
Kids in Tech makes it possible for children ages 8-14 in low-income households to acquire skills and confidence in technology through interactive after school programs.
Our programs focus on helping kids develop the necessary tech skills and aptitudes to participate in and be future leaders of the 21st-century innovation economy.
Science, Engineering, Technology and Math (STEM) education changes the future. The demand for STEM professionals is projected to grow, but many kids don’t have the access to the education they need.
— KIDS IN TECH CLUB
Research shows achievement in STEM fields depends on early and ongoing education in math and sciences. Hours outside school are essential.
- By 6th grade, kids in low-income households have spent six thousand fewer hours in after-school and summer learning than their peers in middle-income households.
- Just 19% of Massachusetts kids have access to after-school programming.
- Kids in Tech provides free educational opportunities, community support, and positive role models that kids need to engage in STEM subjects in school and later to compete in STEM employment sectors.

What our Kids in Tech say
I did not think I was going to like Tech Club at first, but it is really fun and
interesting. I like that we get to build things, tear them apart, and build again. We also go on
field trips and see real tech people at their jobs. I get to learn things that I do not learn in
school.”
Naomi, 14
Naomi plans to attend vocational high school and pursue a career in Automotive Technology, Engineering Technology or Carpentry.
[Tech Club] is fun and interesting! The self-driving car activity was really fun and also the field trip to IBM.
SueHailey, 11
When asked how Tech Club has changed her life, SueHailey said, “I learned about engineering and what coders do and got to meet someone who works at IBM. That was really cool.”
