A monthly online technology skills development program for black students from age 9 to 14. CODING + ROBOTICS + WEB DEVELOPMENT + FUN

This program aligns with the Aspire Hub’s broad objective of connecting minority youths with opportunities for better career and health outcomes as they become successful adults, responsible citizens, and exemplary leaders.

We know that low skills perpetuate poverty and inequality. Skill development can reduce unemployment/under-employment, increase productivity, and improve living standards. We are building a vibrant community of responsible and creative black youth while also reducing high-risk behavior and increasing our youth’s circles of support.

This unique program is designed to create opportunities for Black Youth to access experiential learning in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields, the Program targets Black Youth between the ages of 9 and 14; older students in junior/high school can participate as well. Students will acquire practical technical skills as they transition to High School and post-secondary studies.

What I like the most about the program is learning new things. I like that we headed in the direction of making an online shop instead of a blog because now I was able to take a few skills away from that. I can also navigate through WordPress way better.

The thing that I liked most was creating my test website. I can always use this skill in the future if I ever want to create a website. Also, it is a good thing because it is summer and we usually don't do anything during summer, and it is a good skill to learn because you are a step ahead of others.

I liked the first session with the guest instructor (Kevin Mpunga) because it gave me insight into life skills such as learning as much as I can and how ideas never stay the same, along with other tips and tricks to get better results from my work

I liked how the teachers allowed us to explore and didn't just tell us exactly what to do. But guided us in our exploring.

I greatly appreciate all of the hard work and dedication that all the teachers put in to creating a fun and informative learning environment. I believe that all aspects of this program were fun and enjoyable, however, in my opinion I think that learning how to properly use and integrate (Woocommerce) into our website was the most fun and memorable experience that we learned throughout the duration of the course.
