Our Impact

Why We Empower?

At the Applied Computing Foundation (ACF), we believe young people can make a real difference and we need their bold examples to inspire change.

 

Technology, entrepreneurship, and collaboration are powerful tools to empower the next generation to tackle pressing challenges, from community needs to global issues.

 

Through our startup teams, we train K-12 students in tech + entrepreneurship, fostering the skills to innovate confidently and lead with impact.

Community Empowerment

Empower Central Valley team works with local
schools to bring year-round tech learning programs to K-12 students in the Central Valley area. We empower the Central Valley team to introduce coding and robotics fundamentals through Scratch, Scratch + WeDo, Microbit, and other fun-filled learning programs to their students.


We train local CS teachers to provide quality programs year-round, provide curriculum, support necessary tools, and host workshops.
If you would like to support us, please donate and
sign up for our newsletter to be kept in the loop for more volunteering opportunities.

Empowering the next generation of women in technology starts with giving girls the confidence and skills to explore STEM fields. Through hands-on coding and robotics programs, we create supportive learning environments where young women can discover their potential, break down barriers, and see themselves as future innovators and leaders.

We're committed to empowering both female coaches and all-girls student teams, building a strong community of women mentors and learners who support and inspire each other. By investing in girls' STEM education today, we're building a more diverse, creative, and equitable tech industry for tomorrow.

Empowering refugee and low-income students through STEM education means breaking down barriers and creating pathways to success for those who need it most. We bring coding and robotics programs directly to underserved communities, and our commitment doesn't stop there

We offer online education scholarships and forge partnerships to ensure students can continue their STEM journey beyond the regular school year. By providing ongoing support, resources, and opportunities, we're making sure that every student, regardless of their financial situation or background, has the chance to build skills, pursue their passions, and unlock their full potential in technology and beyond.
