Board discusses children’s tech and finance workshops aimed at ages 10–18
Summary
Board members supported a proposed series of workshops on technology and finance for youth, recommending multiple age cohorts, mentorship and links to local schools and summer-camp rosters to boost attendance.
Jose introduced a pending proposal for children's workshops focused on technology and finance and asked for the board's feedback on structure and outcomes. "I think it's anywhere from... 10 to 18," he said while suggesting the program be split into age-appropriate cohorts and that tech and finance be delivered on separate days rather than combined.
Board members recommended concrete outcomes such as mentorship, internship pathways, networking, resume review and certification opportunities to entice attendance, and suggested coordinating with TIES, local principals and the summer-camp contact list to recruit participants. The board agreed to have Jose and other volunteers develop an outline and bring a more detailed plan to the next meeting.
