Why Give #Giving Tuesday

#GivingTuesday lasts all week long this year! We know there are a lot of non-profits doing great things but we want you to know a little about Tech Changers and join us in making a difference in the lives of students in Howard County and the STEM industry.  Our mission is to disrupt the disparity in CS and STEM by supporting the STEM pipeline and encouraging students of color and economically diverse backgrounds to explore their curiosities and interests.

Thanks to a generous funder, all donations this week will be matched up to $6,000. Help us work for equity in computer science education by donating today at techchangers.org.  Every donation will not only be doubly helpful to support our free programs and development of the TechChanger MakerSpace but it will show us that you care and believe in our cause!

Tech Changers is reaching into our community to ask for support for our programs which - with our talented instructors - provide opportunities for all students to gather and learn together. The TechChanger MakerSpace is a place where kids are encouraged to take risks and facilitators are trained in culturally responsive teaching practices. We thrive to ensure our students respect and value each other. Our programs teach tech, build community and ignite passion! Want to see us in action? Check out our Launch video here!

Here's what your donation can do:

• $25 helps purchase supplies for one of our TechChanger MakerSpace Monday events
• $40 buys dinner at one of our TechChanger MakerSpace Monday events
• $75 makes it possible to send one kid to a Tech Changer Program
• $1,500 Sponsors one Tech Changers Physical Computing Class 

We are also registered with Benevity , a donation portal used by many major corporations. Check to see if matching funds available and increase your donation's impact! Click here to make a donation of any amount!
