Find Your Bold
TALENT IS EVERYWHERE. OPPORTUNITY ISN'T.
Too many young people grow up without access to computer science education—or the opportunity to meet someone working in technology.
Bold Idea brings low-cost, project-based learning and professional mentorship directly to students in under-resourced communities. Along the way, students gain more than technical skills. They build confidence, discover new possibilities, and begin to see themselves as the innovators, creators, and leaders of the future.
