KidsTek Program
At KidsTek, we know that getting computers into classrooms or after-school centers is only the first step; supporting a technology-learning environment is at the heart of overcoming the technology gap. That type of training costs money, but it's money well spent. Building bridges pays a dividend in developing trained and motivated high-tech employees.
KidsTek works closely with Colorado youth (ages K-12) service providers in underserved communities to provide the keys to successful technology education, including:
- Technical Resources: The development and ongoing maintenance and supervision of technology centers.
- Curriculum: A project-based educational model for KidsTek Partners to utilize and build upon.
- Supervision: A Technology Program Coordinator to establish, monitor & assess KidsTek Programs and train instructors.
- Mentoring: Engaging volunteers from the technology community in a meaningful partnership
- Assessment: Ongoing outcomes-based measurement to assess the long-term impact on kids.
KidsTek partners with Colorado companies and foundations to develop and improve these technology centers to both educate and engage kids in the diverse opportunities of the technology sector.
