Kids N Technology STEM program is the BEST option for kids who are interested in learning about science, technology, engineering, and math. The activities are both educational and fun!

One of the things that I appreciate most about Kids N Technology is that they focus on hands-on learning. This means that kids have the opportunity to learn by doing, which is a great way to retain information. From building robots, coding drones, and creating 3D models kids learn first hand about important STEM concepts such as computer science, physics, and chemistry.
Overall, I highly recommend Kids N Technology's STEM program to anyone looking for a fun and educational way for their kids to learn about STEM!

Kids In Technology (KNT) is an educational program that revolutionizes the learning experience for students of color. KNT's innovative curriculum provides an inclusive and tailored approach that acknowledges that not all learners are alike.

Scientist Jacquelyn, or as she's affectionately known, the "ganstaScientist," has been a transformative presence and influence. She serves as a shining example for students, showing them that they can break barriers and excel in the field of science.

KNT is essential for the future success of our students. I highly recommend KNT and eagerly anticipate the continued impact they will have on the educational landscape.

As a grandmother, I vividly remember holding my granddaughter as an infant and contemplating the direction our world was headed. It was clear that technology was going to play an increasingly vital role in her future. That's why I made it my mission to find a school that would not only nurture her curiosity but also equip her with the skills she'd need to thrive in this tech-driven era.

Eight years later, it saddens me to see that our public schools are still falling short of adequately preparing children for the world of technology. Thanks to Kids In Technology (KNT) - a beacon of hope and innovation, their STEM N SCHOOLS program is nothing short of a game-changer.

KNT's dedication to empowering young minds with the tools and knowledge needed for a tech-savvy future is commendable. They have successfully filled a void that traditional education systems have struggled to address. The STEM N SCHOOLS program is a testament to their commitment to excellence.

I am profoundly grateful to KNT for stepping up and providing a solution that ensures our children are not only academically prepared but also technologically equipped for the challenges that lie ahead. They've brought a level of innovation to our schools that is long overdue.

Thank you, KNT, for being the catalyst for change. Your vision and dedication are shaping a brighter, more tech-savvy future for our children, and for that, you have my deepest appreciation and highest recommendation.

I had the pleasure of serving as a volunteer for a Kids In Technology student competition. The students were highly engaged and showed their creativity in their work as they developed software applications. I highly recommend this organization to help bring STEM to a school near you!

This past Summer Our Camp had an Amazing Time with Ms. Jacquelyn Thomas-Smith and her students through their "Everything STEM Summer Camp. Ms. Thomas taught our children how to code using Combat Code and CodePen. They were able to hear from several engineers, administrators and others of Ally Bank who took time to share with the students about their various careers. Our children also had the opportunity to learn about AI chat-through openai.com. Ms. Thomas-Smith explained how the students could use such in a positive manner. She advised them to go home and let their parents know about how AI could be used to help them as parents, help their child with his or her homework. All were So Excited! We have been able to work with Kids In Technology for several years now. Our students of RaRa Foundation, have been able to use that which they have learned to create businesses. One of our student's, Kailynn Living who learned how to make soap, as Ms. Thomas-Smith shared with our girls during our Virtual Summer Camp of 2020 during Covid-19,sells her Scented Soaps during certain holidays at various Vendor Venues in Houston, Texas. We are So Grateful to and for Ms. Thomas-Smith and Kids N Technology!!!

Love this nonprofit! As a CPA I have always admired how they use donations, spend 100% on program implementation!!! If more nonprofits would allocate donations and grants toward program implementation and less toward salaries, I believe the world would be a better place.

Love spending my time here, it just adds joy to my retirement as a teacher and life long educator! The level of critical thinking and divergent thinking that goes on in the KNT programs is mind blowing....we did not teach this much needed life skill during my years...and in my grand kids school, they are not being challenged and we pay $40k a year for a private school education.

I participate in my employer donation funding program. I give generously year after year.

From one Tech Guy to the future....SUPPORT THIS PROGRAM!. After visiting an in-school program and observing how kids are forced to think beyond what they read in a book, I went back and changed my donation to the maximum donation for the year!

People the US is behind in technology, unless you start supporting this program, we will continue to be.

In all of my years of teaching and serving in education, I wish I had the funds to bring this innovative technology program to public schools in California.

I love Kids N Tech for 3 reasons:

1. KNT delivers innovative cost-effective STEM and STEAM programs;
2. Provide the absolute best customer service;
3. KNT made it easy for us to collaborate and partner with their program as well as community programs in our backyard that we did not know to exist.

Thanks, Kids In Technology,

KNT's staff and program is always evolving! That's a big and important difference between them and similar programs. This is not a rigid stuck in their ways type of program,they are open to suggestion,in fact they solicit them, the staff are always seeking knowledge and growing themselves so as technology evolves they can prepare children for not just the now but what's next giving them the tools to be innovators and not just participants

Kids In Technology by far has the best leadership in STEM Education! The professional development provided was the best for teaching and learning; our teachers received high quality, innovative training that they could relate to and the most appropriate for our diverse population of students. I would have rated them 10 stars but it does not look like that is possible. I urge all educators to support this organization, its small and personable, and can relate to underprivileged and minority populations.
