A Technology Odyssey
Each summer the Gordon Family Foundation hosts thirty 8th through 12th-grade students who participate in a “Technology Odyssey” that introduces them to many branches of cutting edge technology.
Students visit local companies, universities and meet with role model leaders from business, education, and community who share similar backgrounds and challenges with the students. They participate in group projects, coding, and three-day internships.
About {CodeOrlando}
Founded in 1999, 55 kids participated in our flagship program in partnership with the University of Central Florida for local high schools students, providing a fun and learning-filled tech immersion experience.
Despite Covid limitations on our visits to local tech organizations, the students were able to experience a NASA launch, an eye-opening trip to the Orlando Emergency Management facility, and they were introduced to luminaries from across the US who are blazing trails for underrepresented groups in technology fields.
