Our Mission

Our goal is to give underprivileged kids the opportunity to increase their knowledge in technology by teaching and promoting computer science. By doing this, we hope to provide underprivileged kids with the skills to help them get into the game of the future.

 

Get In The Game is committed to giving underprivileged students a chance to learn computer science and to learn about technology.


“Ever since I learned computer science and realized how powerful it is, I have been committed to sharing my knowledge with others.”
