About US
Technology Innovation For Teenagers Foundation (TechTeens) is focused on helping young people understand the opportunities in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) no matter their gender or social background. Through our programs we help young people between the ages of 8-18 years understand their potential and raise their aspirations in STEM.

Our programs are also carefully planned with framework of activities that engage not just the students, but also teachers and parents as they are the main influencers in career decisions.
