“The techlahoma foundation is a volunteer-run nonprofit that empowers community members by equipping them with life-enriching skills. While achieving our mission to teach, educate, connect, and empower oklahomans we work to foster a diverse and inclusive community.”

“Conferences: we organized two national tech conferences. The profits of thunder plains and 200 ok go directly to fund the tech community's free stem training events,sponsorship of other free local tech events, purchases of shared resources (like chairs, projectors, and a/v gear to livestream and record events),and diversity scholarship tickets to paid events. These events uplift oklahoma as a competitive tech hub, encourage and promote oklahomans as national conference speakers, and support the entire techlahoma ecosystem. By purchasing tickets and providing sponsorships, the community directly supports our efforts to teach, train,and connect oklahomans. We also sponsored two free regional conferences and one free workshop for women in tech. Thanks to our community donors we were able to sponsor events like 1) sql saturday okc, a database,business information and analytics conference featuring 28 sessions, 2) bsides ok, an information security conference with 15 sessions and 3 specialty challenge events to compete in, and 3) rails bridge tulsa, a workshop that teaches women to code at no cost to them.”

“User groups: organized, created, and funded 16 user groups to teach the public in tulsa and oklahoma city. We have 544 members in community slack. And we have 1,810 members in meetup.com groups.”
