Meet some of the students in our robotics program. As Seattle’s landscape continues to change, it is critical that we provide technological education to families who are the most vulnerable to pressures of gentrification and displacement. We believe in creating access to technology in order to break the cycle of poverty. Over the past few years, we developed a coding and robotics program at one of our sites in SeaTac in partnership with Geeking Out Kids of Color - GOKiC and the results have been incredible! Students are learning how to code, create apps, build robots and data science. This summer, with funding from Best Starts for Kids, we partnered with GOKiC and Arts Corps to bring this program to all of our New Futures sites with the goal of increasing math and literacy, developing technological skills, and building confidence with elementary and middle school students engaging in arts education and technology programming. #BarrierBreakers
