about
Kids Kickstart, founded in 2020, mission is to provide resources and tools in the form of laptops, software, audio equipment and other tangible supports directly to students and their families to enhance their economic and educational opportunities.
​
Kids Kickstart targets kids, ages 7-17 who aspire to further their education and professional skills but lack access to their own personal in-home computers and software to further their educational and creative interests out of the classroom. According to the AP Survey 2017, 17% of students lack access to a home computer and 3 million students do not have broadband Internet.
​
This was even more evident with the global pandemic, COVID-19 which closed schools and put a nation of school children and their families into home schooling and virtual learning without the proper tools. Students need every opportunity to learn and grow in a time that technology reigns supreme. Kids Kickstart goal is to provide opportunities to work with the most advanced technology like AI and cloud computing, by giving them the tools and resources needed.
