Challenge

YTC is addressing the lack of access to quality STEM education and the barriers faced by youth, particularly in underserved communities. These barriers include high education costs, negative stereotypes in STEM fields, and limited opportunities for hands-on learning.

Solution

YTC offers free, accessible STEM education through hands-on workshops, mentorship, and peer-led classes. YTC provides students with the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in digital fields, while creating a supportive environment that challenges stereotypes and promotes inclusivity. By incorporating peer-to-peer teaching, the project will also empower older students to become mentors, fostering leadership and breaking down cultural and educational gaps.

Long-Term Impact

By providing underserved youth with access to STEM education, the project will inspire them to develop a passion for more complex subjects, encouraging them to pursue advanced STEM careers. This newfound interest will open doors to higher education opportunities, setting them on a path to break generational cycles of poverty within their families and communities. In turn, it will empower them to create lasting change and contribute to the economic and social growth of their communities.
