Abstract:

Four years ago, a member of the Raleigh ISSA had a dream to help more children get involved in technology!  He was frustrated by the lack of confidence many children displayed and wanted to do something about it.

With the support of many including the Raleigh ISSA, Derrick Thompson started Tweens & Technology which has put 75 computers in children’s hands and taught over 200 children how to code in the past four years.

Thompson will detail the evolution of this amazing movement, while discussing how giving back has a 360-degree impact!
