Generation Yes

Description

• Generation YES is a nonprofit 501(c)3 with the mission of closing the digital divide. Generation YES empowers students to become leaders in their schools by using technology to solve crucial problems in education, while also becoming interested in STEM careers.In 1996, the federal government funded the Technology Innovation Challenge Grant program. The primary goal of these grants was to fund innovative ideas, that once proven effective, could be scaled to provide schools a model of technology integration and support. One hundred and four initial grants were funded, including Generation YES.Around the same time, the realization was setting in that traditional methods of professional development were not enhancing technology infusion in schools. After-school workshops and inservices promised great things, powerful hardware could be purchased, and endless new versions of software could be upgraded, but rarely was there adequate support when teachers actually tried to use the technology in the classroom.Generation YES immediately provided a solution to how schools could harness the students' technology expertise and interest while simultaneously expanding learning opportunities, building confidence, and giving valuable workforce readiness skills.Over the last twenty years, our nonprofit has continuously developed programs and products to ensure that the technology burden is reduced for schools and that students, especially those who need or desire unique learning opportunities, are given chances to contribute and succeed.Please support our mission by donating at http://www.genyes.org/donate/
