About JANJ's NextGen Tech Series:
Interested in learning how to build your own website? Eager to learn coding languages and network with industry experts? Excited to put your computer science skills to the test at our biannual 24-hour problem-solving competition?
JA NextGen Tech Series is an innovative series of workshops and hackathons that guides today’s students to be tomorrow’s leaders. From cybersecurity to artificial intelligence, students are introduced to diverse pathways in the areas of computer science and information technology. From October to June, our monthly NextGen Series also offers students incredible opportunities to further their knowledge about principles of computer science and web development. After each workshop, students can add their newly created program/project to their coding portfolio. Corporate mentors guide and inspire students to explore careers in STEM and solve problems in their communities with technology.
All of our sessions occur virtually on a monthly basis. Typically, these workshops take place on Saturday. There is no cost to join, and students do not have to participate in all sessions.
New to coding? No problem! Our workshops and initiatives are designed for students of all skill levels. If you are a middle school or high school student, be sure to join us in future events of NextGen Tech Series!
