Tech It Out Philly is a program that works with local high school students to explore social change through computer science. Students will work, over the course of 8 weekly sessions, in a small group with other high school students and Penn mentors to build a website about a social justice issue of their choice. The semester culminates with a launch party, which allows students to demo their websites to other groups and Penn upperclassmen.
Tech It Out is aimed at students who have no computer science background and may not have a lot of opportunities to learn about technology, so no experience is expected or necessary. It is an entirely free program and we will teach students everything they need to know! Please keep in mind that students will need internet access and a computer.
This semester we will be offering our program virtually, and I think this program would be a great opportunity for your students! The program will meet on Sundays starting 10/02 from 2-3PM.
Students can apply here. The application is open until 09/25 at 11:59 pm EST.

Tech It Out Philly Outreach Chair
