Voices from the lab

I walked in not knowing how to use a mouse. Six months later, I am managing databases for a local clinic.

Marcus T., Digital Skills Academy

The 3D printers here let me prototype my engineering project for free. I just got accepted into Georgia Tech.

Sarah L., Youth STEM

Mentoring here reminds me why I fell in love with programming. The energy in the room during a hackathon is unmatched.

Hardware and code

The neighborhood sensor

A team of high schoolers wired up soil monitors using Arduino kits. Their prototype now saves the local community garden thousands of gallons of water every month.

From retail to front-end

After attending our evening bootcamps, Elena built a portfolio of React applications. She transitioned into a full-time developer role within eight months of writing her first script.
