image_20240827001430

Join us as a mentor volunteer for the Tech + Art 2024 Hackathon Series, where you'll help empower middle and high school students from underserved communities in Washington, D.C. This initiative combines STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) with art, fostering creativity and innovation.

As a volunteer, you'll assist with event setup, logistics, participant mentorship, and technical support across five hackathons in September 2024. You’ll also document the events and help create an inclusive and supportive environment.

This is a unique opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of young people, helping them develop the skills and confidence needed to explore careers in technology and the arts.

Mission Statement

Tech Turn Up provides a comprehensive STEAM curriculum designed to support K-12 students in developing fundamental technology skills while promoting educational equity.

Description

Created in response to the lack of positive mentors within technology fields, Tech Turn Up provides pathways within the community to pursue technology-related degrees as demand within this industry steadily increases.

Tech Turn Up has provided services to schools and home schools within the communities. Tech Turn has had the opportunity to work with DCHA sponsored summer camp and provided technology enrichment activities for (DPR) located in Wards 6 and 7. Before our 501 (3) (c) status, Tech Turn Up, in collaboration with the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Washington, successfully served over 250 at-risk youth aged between 12 -17 in Wards 4, 7, and 8 in Washington DC.
