To deliver Fun STEM programs and events that inspire Minnesota youth to build confidence, create opportunities and thrive as the next generation of innovators.
High tech kids is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides the infrastructure, training and events for more than 3,500 minnesota students annually, in grades k - 12. Each fall we manage the minnesota first lego league (fll), and in the spring, we organize our renewable energy challenge. Through these programs, we train, teach, and empower students and adult volunteers. Kids engage in 8 - 12 weeks of fun team-based building, computer programming and research to solve real-world problems. In order to make responsible, informed decisions that affect us, our society and our environment, we must understand science and math. Our goals are to reach kids during critical and formative years to ensure their future opportunities in a technology-driven world; to engage populations under-represented in stem; and to connect adults with students in their communities to foster our future innovators, leaders, collaborators and problem solvers.
