TECH CORPS has worked with our students for over 5 years. They have the best programming and instructors. Their team has developed multiple summer programming options for us with the support of local industry. We highly recommend this program to any school or afterschool program looking for STEM, Computer Science, Coding, or IT opportunities for students. They are one of our best school partners. Unlike other non-profits, they are truly collaborative. Their team understands our school and has worked to provide sustainable programming for our students. The videos show our students discussing their experience.

Tech Corps is my best experience, since I came to the United States 3 years ago. I participated in Tech Corps for two summers, 2021 and 2022 respectively. In 2021, I got an email saying I should spend my summer in a program called ready to earn, which allowed you to earn money while you learn, and Tech Corp was one of the hosts of the program. I was a junior in High School at that time, and participated for the money at first. They exposed me to the work force, and I gained lot of knowledge in computer field. I learnt various skills such as; professionalism, financial literacy, and general knowledge of computer(modules). The coding aspect of the modules, even though it was the basics, really helped to transition to my python programming in my senior year smoothly. We also attended seminars every Friday of the week, and got first hand knowledge from experienced panelists, and participated in team-building activities.

My Tech Corp Experience of 2022 was as a paid intern after graduating high school, so, I got that full on employee experience. I learnt to be punctual, as I had to be at work at a specific time. I learnt IT fundamentals and some example of that includes; Computer Hardware, Computer Networking, Trouble shooting, database and so on. One of my favorite part was learning how to build a computer from scratch. "I LEARNT HOW TO BUILD A COMPUTER!!!!", this is knowledge that will be with me for the rest of my life. Apart from all the techy part, the instructors prepped up on all aspects of college. The instructors are highly engaging and willing to sit down with any students to go over any stuff. They didn't rush us in any way and took time with each topics, and even reviewed each of them as we went on. So if you consider yourself a slow learner, you don't have to worry about that. All the knowledge given to us, was to be prepared for the COMP TIA certification test. The badge of the COMP TIA test on your resume would signify that you know the IT fundamentals. Yes! I passed the COMP TIA test, thanks to the good work of the instructors.

I highly recommend that parents enroll their children in this program, as it would give them the necessary skills for the workforce.

It was a great opportunity to be able to learn about about basic parts/fundamentals of computers. Having a group around you that were wanting the same experience as me gave me confidences. The instructors and everyone were great and it is something that is very needed into the tech world and gave me more of an opportunity to seek guide and knowledge. However, you do have to put your summer out of the picture but you are getting PAID to learn, it is truly an opportunity worth the experience! 10/10!

Hello, My name is Mawuko Addae and I took part of this program last year so I thought it would be easy since I’ve gotten experience. Once I joined the program this year, I was right about it being easy. Their website was easy to navigate through since I did it last year, the works were similar but easier, and it wasn’t as stressful compared to last year. I really had no regrets doing it this year although I hesitated to take part thinking it would be hard like last year. I’ll be looking forward taking part again next year again which will be my last time.

Michelle Moore and Tech Corps has brought programs to Warrensville that would not have happened without these innovative initiatives. Michelle first found funding for my classroom when I was teaching web design at the high school. She found funding for computers that students could build and program in order to learn how computers work.
Last summer, she found funding for our Warrensville Middle Schoolers to learn how to program Lego Mind storms during a summer camp.
This year, I am teaching at the middle school, and I am working with her to bring a Techie Club to my Middle Schoolers where they will be learning about Project Management, Cyber Security, and much more.
I look forward to the innovative programs that she continues to bring to our students at Warrensville.

TECH CORPS is an AMAZING organization that offered our daughter an opportunity of a lifetime. The programs that she was elected to attend in were very well structured, organized, and professionally ran by the staff of TECH CORPS. My daughter walked away from these programs with a welt of knowledge that she was able to apply during her academic school year. In addition, she was able to apply her learnings from Techie Camp outside of the classroom and into her acting. I can't say enough about how phenomenal TECH Corps is in a paragraph. The skills and exposure that she obtained through TECH Corps should be offered more frequently and we wish that we could have had a summer long program with this type of curriculum versus a weeklong. We all walked away from the program wishing we had more time!!!!!!! TECH CORPS your organization is AWESOME and the flexibility of the staff was very impressive!

My daughter has attended three different Tech Corp programs over the last three years. The computer programming camp was well organized, thorough, and gave her a "behind the scene" look at how computer games really function. The Women of Engineering all day camp opened her eyes to how many different engineering professions are available. They did a great job allowing the girls to explore these different professions in a fun educational atmosphere. Lastly, she is in her third year of First LEGO League and keeps coming back because of all it offers. Being only 11 and already having such a positive experience with programming, teamwork, research, presentation, and a final competition where they put all these skills to use; has been a priceless opportunity. Very proud of all she works for and thankful there are great donors that contribute to this organization so she and others have this positive experience. Thank you!

My son has attended three different Techie Camp programs over the past several years. As a parent, what I love the most is that he isn’t just playing games—he is creating them! It’s a different level of thinking and he is always engaged and excited about his projects. Even after camp is over, he uses what he learns to continue to develop projects on his own. As a teacher, I am always impressed with the dedication of the Techie Camp staff. They make sure that each child gets the attention and support that they need. Their focus on creativity, collaboration, and innovation truly reflects what Techie Camp is all about.

TECHie Camp was life changing! I had never thought about programming in my life or anything related to movie making. I just was sparked by the idea of being able to make mini movies and games. At first it took a bit before it got super fun! You needed to learn the basics so your character moves right. But then you got to start doing your own videos and games. Sometimes I would be so rapped up in the making of my videos that I wouldn't realize how hungry I was and when lunch time came I would be happy to eat, but I didn't want to go out for recess. Our teachers where really helpful and patient with us and tried to make sure that we got our videos done. I downloaded the computer programming that we used and now my siblings are doing it too. I wish to go again soon or try another subject the next time the camps come around. Beth, 7th grader.
