MISSION
Bold Idea creates access to Computer Science in under-resourced communities and prepares students for the technology careers of the future.
VISION
A world where every student has an unobstructed path to access Computer Science education and pursue fulfilling careers in technology.
EQUITY STATEMENT
At Bold Idea, we believe every student deserves the chance to learn computer science and create with technology, no matter their race, gender, or family income. We're committed to closing the opportunity gap in our own communities.
That gap didn't happen by accident. It's the result of long-standing systems that haven't treated all communities fairly. We're working to change that by building programs that welcome and belong to the students and families we're part of.
When we make computer science education more equitable in North Texas, we're not just preparing students for great careers. We're helping build a more diverse and inclusive tech industry for the future.
