Mission Bit strives to eliminate the tech divide for youth living in urban poverty and rural areas across the San Francisco Bay Area by building computer programming and professional opportunity pathways for public school students. They provide everything the students need, they just need to show up and be eager to learn. No prior experiencerequired.They give students the opportunity to learn directly from successful engineers and entrepreneurs who enjoy sharing knowledge. They're focused on project-based learning and aim to teach both core computer science concepts as well as the practical skills and technologies that are required to build web sites and applications today.Throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, 100,000 high school students lack access to computer science classes at their schools, according to a study consulting firm Inspire conducted on behalf of Mission Bit. By 2020, Mission Bit hopes to serve 10,000 students in the area, specifically focusing on black and Latinx students, as well as students on free/reduced price lunch programs.
