Digi-Bridge reaches 4,129 K-8 scholars in 2019 through STEM programming.

Happy New Year, Digi-Bridge Supporters!

We are proud to share that in 2019, Digi-Bridge served 4,129 scholars, nearly DOUBLING our impact in 2018!

Every day we are honored to work with our scholars, facilitators, school partners, community sites, funders and donors to work towards our mission of ensuring that all 21st century learners have opportunities to succeed in the digital age.

Some notable 2019 achievements:

  • 2,000 students explored hundreds of STEAM lessons through  #STEAMSaturdays at Ashley Park, Idlewild, Druid Hills, Bruns Avenue, Renaissance West, Montclaire, Wilson STEM, and Briarwood. 
  • 150 students joined our FIRST LEGO League competition robotics teams at Eastway, Governors’ Village, Allenbrook, Sedgefield and Wilson STEM and will compete in February 2020.
  • Digi-Bridge held six community and school-based Family and Daddy Daughter Code-Ins impacting 360 where 97 percent of participants noted learning new digital skills.

As we step into the second month of 2020, we are more committed than ever to making 21st-century skills more accessible.

In 2020, we will:

  • Develop more and deeper community partnerships to bring our hands-on and career-focused curriculum to more students, ensuring that accessibility is not a limiting factor
  • Build capacity of our dedicated facilitators so they are more equipped than ever to integrate 21st-century skills into their classrooms, utilizing community resources from Digi-Bridge and beyond
  • Bring more experiences to the community through organized events
  • Bridge the experience gap between STEM companies and future STEM leaders

Watch us in 2020.
