Founding Tech Teens

Help Build The Kind Of Tech Community You Actually Want.

Tech Teens is building a founding community for teens ages 13–18 who want to explore technology, meet new people, discover career opportunities & have a real voice in what we create.

You won't just attend programs. You'll help shape them.

Built With Teens

We're not guessing what teens want.

We can create programs, workshops & events all day long. But if teens don't actually want to be there, what's the point?

That's why we're bringing teens to the table from the beginning. Founding Tech Teens will help shape what we teach, the experiences we create, the events we plan & the kind of community Tech Teens becomes.

This isn't us building something for you & asking you to show up. We're building it with you.

Your Voice

What will you actually do?

This isn't another club where adults make every decision & teens just show up. Founding Tech Teens will have a real hand in shaping the experience.

01

Shape Programs

Tell us what technology, careers & real-world skills you actually want to explore.

02

Plan Experiences

Help decide what workshops, events, trips & activities would actually be worth showing up for.

03

Keep It Real With Us

Tell us what's working, what's missing & what feels boring before we keep building more of it.

04

Build The Community

Help create the kind of Tech Teens community you'd actually want to be part of & invite your friends to.

Okay, But...

What's in it for YOU?

You're helping us build Tech Teens, so we're going to help you build too. Your skills. Your network. Your confidence. Your experience. Your future.

YOU
WERE
HERE.
Founding Means Something

You get to say you helped build Tech Teens.

This first group won't just be another group of participants. You'll be part of the original group of teens who helped shape the community from the beginning.

Your ideas, feedback & involvement will help influence what Tech Teens looks like as it grows.

Years from now, you'll still be able to say, “I was one of the Founding Tech Teens.”

Who We're Looking For

You don't have to be a tech genius.

Seriously. You don't need to know how to code, build a computer or already have your future figured out. Curiosity counts.

You're 13–18 years old
You're curious about technology, careers or trying something new
You're willing to share your ideas & real opinions
You want to meet new people & discover new opportunities
You want to help build something teens actually enjoy being part of
Already love tech? Cool. Still figuring out what you're into? That's cool too. There's room for both here.

This can be just the beginning.

The more you put into Tech Teens, the more opportunities you'll have to grow with the community.
