Tech missionary has found that the fastest way to empower young people is to get hands-on with technology. Through creative technology young people can explore and grow and learn leadership and confidence skills from working together in a team. Oh, and did we mention its also a hell of a lot of fun?
Tech missionary runs creative maths courses for 14 year olds in the Stockholm suburbs. Awesome Foundation Stockholm will fund a 3-week course in Fittja for 20 students with diverse cultural backgrounds with the aim of making a difference through technology. The course includes tailor-made visits to the coolest companies and researchers in Stockholm to inspire and expand their horizons.
“I think this is one of the most important issues for the future - that more people understand that their ideas matter and that they can change the world.”
