TechUpRoc is a movement that seeks to encourage the inner city youth of Rochester, NY to enthusiastically embrace the learning of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) concepts and to inspire our youth to become the next generation of scientists, technical innovators, engineers, and mathematicians.
Our primary goal is to increase african american representation in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) and to increase the number of african american students pursuing high-tech careers. Through hands-on demonstrations, engaging workshops, and fun experiments, students will actively learn and explore the STEM fields.
We are seeking to establish partnerships with community stakeholders who are committed to investing in and cultivating talent found within the City of Rochester to create a sustainable economy for city residents.
