Camp BYOC needs your support. Our community program to ignite a passion and inspire youth to pursue careers in technology is at risk.
Over the past 7 years, Camp BYOC has worked with total of approximately 200 students to understand computer hardware and to build their own computers. The knowledge, skills, and experience made a huge impact in their lives. Our students come from a variety of backgrounds. Students and their families usually cannot afford to pay hardware and software expenses.
Camp BYOC relies on sponsors and donors like you to help offset student expenses. Our goal is to groom future innovators and to provide real life skills to students who might not otherwise get the opportunity. Your donations no matter how big or small will help us keep the program alive.
It takes a village to nourish and help every child succeed. Camp BYOC hopes that you will become part of our village. Your investments will help us continue the journey as we ignite a passion for technology, one child at a time.
Thanks for caring enough to read this request.

Transformational
BYOC is a transformative experience for many campers that has changed career trajectories. We believe that it is important to attract young people to STEM early through fun and creative ways. BYOC creates an environment that values creative and intuitive minds where the culture of STEM can thrive.
Past participants describe their experience in BYOC as life-changing. Here's a quote from the parent of one camper:
"Camp BYOC has been phenomenal for my daughter. She is really strongly considering a career in technology and enjoys the time she gets to spend learning this new language."
