Project Title: Hidden Genius Program
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
The Hidden Genius is a program that introduces traditionally marginalized young students of color to the field of technology. Numerous studies have shown that exposing young people of color to STEM fields helps propel them into underrepresented fields that is currently lacking diversity. The program uses a social-emotional learning lens that helps youth develop self-management skills and encourages responsible decision making.<\/p>\n
Students are taught the basics of web development, using web technologies such as HTML, CSS and Javascript. Many of our students have never been exposed to this level of technology, throughout our program we help unlock their hidden genius abilities and creativity. We invite BIPOC tech industry experts and leaders from local companies such as Slalom, Expedia and Microsoft as guest speakers and mentors. We want our students to know that they too can create or be a part of innovate disruptive technologies that change the world.<\/p>\n
Although our programs are open to anyone who meets income guidelines, our main program participants are BIPOC and specifically East African immigrants and refugees. Most of the youth we serve are first generation formal school students, in other words one or both of their parents have never attended formal schooling. We establish low income eligibility by confirming free or reduced lunch status.\n<\/p>\n
