Geeking Out Kids of Color (GOKiC)

http://www.gokic.org

Geeking Out Kids of Color (GOKiC) teaches computer programming, robotics, and Artificial Intelligence through an anti-sexist and anti-racist curriculum, focusing on bringing tech into communities of color who lack access to technology, wi-fi connectivity, and culturally relevant STEM education. We believe that by empowering kids of color with an education in computer science, they will be able to use technology to impact their communities positively.  Visit us at www.gokic.org
