In Prince George’s County and across the region, many young people struggle with using technology because they do not own laptops or computers, and their caregivers often face language and digital skill barriers. BCAUSEICAN reduces the technology learning curve for students of color so that they and their families can thrive in an increasingly digital world. Every week after school, underserved K-12 students participate in bilingual programming to develop foundational knowledge in computer coding, earning age-appropriate industry certifications that equip them with marketable STEM skills. Interactive programs and introductions to sector professionals allow students to apply their learning to the real world, with many pursuing careers in STEM. BCAUSEICAN also supports adult learners (including seniors) in brushing up on their computer fundamentals, closing the technology gap for over 2,000 students and adults annually.
