19 tech education programs helping DC youth build the future
From bootcamps to summer sessions and after-school clubs, DC, Maryland and Virginia have a wealth of offerings for youth who want a career in tech. Here's who's planting the first seeds for techy teens and kids.
When it comes to getting youth interested in the tech industry, parents and educators have a lot of questions to field about how to best move forward. Do you urge your kid to build a computer? Do you go for the multi-thousand-dollar bootcamps or are there cost-friendly options? How might they land an internship or apprenticeship as a teenager?
But have no fear, it turns out there’s plenty of options in the DMV for tech-inclined teens (over 15, to be specific). Whether it’s taking initiative in the classroom, after school hours or on summer breaks, DC has a wealth of offerings for youth interested in the STEM fields or thinking about a career in coding.
