For two decades, P4L has helped under-resourced students develop the knowledge they need to thrive in our global, technology-rich economy. Students from low-income households and students of color are vastly underrepresented in STEM fields, including within higher education. So starting in the critical middle school years, P4L offers them free, hands-on, after-school tech enrichment programs. Annually, some 100 students engage in coding, programming, digital art, filmmaking, video game development, electronics, and robotics. College-aspiring middle and high school students participate in college readiness and financial literacy workshops, complete with college visits and college-level research projects. Additional weekend and summer activities, including field trips and guest speakers, further these interests and continuously connect students to youth culture. As P4L supports the next generation, it transforms them from technology consumers into skilled and socially responsible creators.
