About Us

WE BELIEVE ALL K-12 STUDENTS SHOULD HAVE ACCESS TO HIGH-QUALITY COMPUTER SCIENCE LEARNING EXPERIENCES

 The Mission of TECH CORPS is three-fold and is achieved through Programs, People and Partners.

PROGRAMS: We design computer science and IT programs that are rigorous, relevant and fun. These programs range from awareness to exploration to immersion.

PEOPLE: We recruit, train and support technology talent to implement TECH CORPS programs.

PARTNERS: We work with partners, who believe as we do and together we provide students and teachers access to programs designed to educate, excite and empower.

Why We Do It:​

Computer science is not about learning how to use a computer, or even just programming. Computer science is about deeper learning – computational thinking, problem solving and creativity. We believe studying computer science, regardless of a student’s ultimate occupation, provides the knowledge and practices necessary to be ready for college or career.

How We Do It:

The actions we take to realize these beliefs coalesce around Programs, People and Partners.

Because We Do It

  • Students have opportunities to make connections between the technology they love to use, and the educational and career pathways associated with the creation of this technology.
  • Students traditionally underrepresented in technology have safe and supportive learning environments that encourage them to explore, tinker and learn skills and concepts focused on computer science and technology.
  • Classroom teachers receive professional development, curriculum, and support they need to bring computer science into their classroom in a way that is rigorous and connected to student learning.
  • Students are graduating high school and pursuing computer science and IT-related degrees or enrolling in IT training programs.

For more than 40 years, we’ve been passionate about achieving better results for our clients.

Our school is dedicated to teaching students through positive learning experiences so that they will be successful at the elementary school. We believe the unique learning styles of students should be considered when planning and implementing learning activities.

I want to thank all teachers who do their best to provide our children with qualitative and useful knowledge. They perfectly mix education and play, and children are very satisfied with such approach to lessons. My daughter is a graduate and she is ready to study in elementary school.

Our elementary school helps each boy and girl to become a responsible and independent student, one who is a creative thinker, respectful of himself and others, and appreciative of the differences amongst people.
