Puerto Rico has experienced a sharp decline in population since 2006, with over 700,000 Puertorriqueños migrating to the United States mainland. The public school system has lost 250,000 school-aged children. This migration is caused by both natural and man-made disasters and has resulted in a continued loss of skilled labor.

Information technology is scarce in primary and secondary school regions throughout Puerto Rico. We are helping by providing access to technology education in a marginalized community of girls and aiding our Teachers with training and resources for an inclusive and diverse IT workforce.
From the classroom to the global community. Technology is a tool that can be used to create economic opportunities and prosperity. We're committed to getting girls not just connected, but excited about innovation and becoming the creators of technology in the future.
We continue to work with knowledgeable and strategic partners who share a common vision for the sustained growth of Puerto Rico.
