CHANGING THE WORLD, ONE COMMUNITY AT A TIME.

Woz ED Community Outreach programs are made possible by our believers – people who understand that opportunity to learn leads to opportunity. People who know the tech economy is leaving the rest of the U.S. economy in the dust. People who want to prepare young people in the communities that are dearest to them for tech economy jobs. Movers and shakers proving that economic development happens in some unlikely places when K-12 embraces K-Employment. Our believers give more than their time and money, they give hope by shrinking the digital divide.

Woz ED community Outreach programs are made possible by people who have teamed up with Woz to change the world. One community at a time.

STEVEN HUNTER FOUNDATION

Steven Hunter and Steve Wozniak have announced up to $5 million in support for K-employment initiatives in K-12 schools. This partnership has arisen from their shared passion to prepare today’s youth for successful employment. Hunter is committed to igniting economic development in cities plagued by poverty and post-industrial decay, while Wozniak has demonstrated that when students are given the opportunity to develop an engineering mindset through hands-on projects as early as possible, they can land high-paying, high tech jobs shortly after completing high school. Hunter and Wozniak have teamed up to help make it happen in the Chicago metropolitan area through Woz ED.

Woz ED provides a personalized approach to nurturing an engineering mindset through hands-on projects that progress from Kindergarten through employment. These learners can land high-demand tech jobs, create new products, build new businesses, and positively impact the world. They dream, design, engineer, test, improve, and create through coding, robotics, drones, 3D printing, data analysis, and mobile development.

WOZ ED FOUNDATION

Steve Wozniak has committed up to $10 million for K-employment initiatives in K-12 schools. His greatest interest is in implementations that will spark opportunity in communities where students have limited job prospects. Steve wants to support entrepreneurship and innovation in these communities, and give these students the opportunity to visualize themselves in tech economy careers because of authentic work-related experiences in K-12.
