Our major programs are our Girl Tech Clubs, Teen Mom Program,
Techno Activism, and our Technology Donation Program. We are unique
in that we bring our programs to our community. We set up after

and educational program with mobile labs.
Use of technology as a tool for life and academic enrichment
is a strategy that focuses on technology as a social service,
this is our strategy. By the year 2008 there will be 1.3 million
new technology workers and 65% of the economy will be based on
technology by the year 2010 (NSF 1996 Report). Technology is more
than a mere luxury it has become a critical necessity along with
reading, writing and mathematics.
