- Our Beginning
Where It All Started
Kids In Technology began in January 2002 during a time when many underserved families were being left behind by the growing Digital Divide.
At a time when home computers and internet access were far less common, many students depended on crowded public libraries and limited school resources just to complete homework assignments and access technology.
Kids In Technology was created to help change that.
Through hands-on technology camps, students learned how computers worked, built their own computers, and took them home — giving families both access to technology and the skills to maintain and understand it.
The program was about more than computers. It was about opportunity, confidence, exposure, and preparing students for a future that was becoming increasingly driven by technology.
