OUR CHALLENGE
A lack of access, not ability
The global technology skills gap and the pace of change create vulnerability for nonprofits and educators.
Nonprofits don’t always have access to technology skills they need to serve their communities best and achieve their missions.
The youth of today need the skills of tomorrow to thrive. That's why we need to change the way we learn. We need to disrupt how education reacts to technology--to empower students and educators to create with technology.
This skills gap is exacerbated in underserved populations, perpetuating inequalities and stalling effective solution development across the globe. These communities face some of the world’s toughest challenges, and yet, they lack access to the tech skills to overcome them and excel.
We don’t believe the issue can be solved simply by connecting communities with technology. We need to connect them with opportunities to develop technology skills.
