Mission Statement
Preparing Youth for 21st Century Careers We are a non-profit society that helps prepare today’s youth for future careers (in technology or otherwise) by exposing them to how technology products are built, using real-world tools, employing real-world processes and taking on real-world roles. We actively seek youth that may not be drawn naturally to technology, dispel commonly held misconceptions, and show them that a future career in technology may be a viable option. We build teams of professionals (working in local technology companies) who give back to this next generation by teaching, mentoring and sharing their experiences. We partner with educators and community leaders to bridge the gap in today’s technology education.
About This Cause
Game of Apps is an after-school program that empowers students with practical technical and life skills to help them succeed in 21st century careers. We offer both high school and middle years programs. High School Program: We guide high school students through the whole process of designing and building an Android app. Professional designers and developers working in the Tech industry mentor the students weekly and teach them the foundational skills. Tech-oriented students will gain a better understanding of how Tech products are actually built, while non-tech oriented students might discover a career path in Tech that complements their skillsets and interests. (Hint: there are many career paths for individuals with non-tech skillsets!) This annual program culminates in the Game of Apps championship event. Middle Years Program: We introduce students to core coding concepts using Swift Playgrounds. The fun and supportive environment encourages all students, regardless of background or interest, to acquire coding skills that will help them in whatever future field they pursue. There are 3 levels to this program. You may find more information on our website and social media channels. Thank you!
