Our Journey
Bootcamp history &
milestones
From a single bootcamp edition to an expanding network of labs and schools. Here is how we got here.
2024 Bootcamp (Pre-Rebranding)
We ran a technology bootcamp that gave secondary school students a chance to learn Arduino programming and basic electronics through real projects. That experience planted the seed for Youth Tech Labs, which eventually grew into Youth Tech Foundation.
Featured Projects
- Introductory Arduino Projects: Foundational Arduino and electronics projects that introduced students to circuits and microcontroller programming.
