Circle of Giving - It Takes A Village...
BYOC (Build Your Own Computer) Camps and Clubs is a part of the Academy for Technologists Extraordinaire, Inc. (ATE) a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. While BYOC started in 2014, it became a part of ATE in 2017 with a mission to build a pipeline of extraordinary minority youth for STEM careers.
BYOC (Build Your Own Computer) Camps and Clubs recognizes the importance and values all support that we receive from donors and sponsors.
We need your support to continue to help inspire students pursuing STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education and careers.
Camp BYOC relies on sponsors and donors like you to offset student expenses. Our goal is to build a pipeline of minority youth for tech careers, groom future innovators and provide real life skills to students who might not otherwise get the opportunity. Your donations no matter how big or small help us continue the work and move forward.
Over the past 10 years, BYOC has worked with over 800 students across 27 communities. It takes a village to keep this work going to help our youth succeed. BYOC encourages you to become part of our village.
There are several options for donating and you can donate below.

DAF Direct makes it easier to support your favorite charities by giving directly from your donor-advised fund.
What is a DAF? A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a centralized charitable account. It allows charitably-inclined individual, families and businesses to make tax-deductible charitable donations of cash, publicly-traded stock and in some case, certain illiquid assets, to a public charity that sponsors a DAF program.
Circle of Giving - It Takes A Village...
Several BYOC youth are pursuing technology careers today and several got their start through BYOC. Many grew their interest in technology because of BYOC. Others who already had a passion for technology found BYOC to be a place where they could learn more, experience new things and expand their insights into technology.
Your donations benefit BYOC in a variety of ways:
- Provide scholarships to needy youth
- Support student expenses (computer hardware, software, student related supplies, Silicon Valley trip)
- Support camp operational expenses (supplies, marketing, facilities, etc....)
There are several options for donating and you can donate above.
