- OUR STORY
Trusted Since 2002. Programs Built for what comes next.
Kids N Technology was founded in 2002 with one goal: help young people understand technology by giving them opportunities to explore, build, create, and solve real problems. Today, we continue that work through hands-on AI + STEM expanded learning and workforce-development programs that prepare students for what comes next.

- Our Beginning
Where It All Started
Kids N Technology began in January 2002, at a time when the digital divide was widening fast. Many students in underserved communities had little or no access to computers, internet, or technology education — and the gap was growing.
Our first programs were simple but powerful: hands-on computer-building camps where students learned how computers worked, built their own machines, and took them home. For many families, it was their first computer.
It was never just about the technology. It was about access, opportunity, and showing students that technology was something they could understand, build, and use to shape their future.
More than two decades later, that same mission drives everything we do — now through AI literacy, digital citizenship, and workforce development programs that prepare students for the world as it is, and as it is becoming.
