Our Vision

E-mail Print PDF

Imagine a technically literate society, a globally competitive workforce, life-long learners, active and involved citizens and equal opportunity learning. This is the vision of TECH CORPS Texas, and we’ve chosen K-12 schools and youth-serving organizations as the vehicle through which to achieve it.

TECH CORPS Texas is a Houston-based 501(c)3 social enterprise dedicated to enhancing education through technology in order to help ensure that today’s students complete their education and are prepared to compete in the global workforce.

TECH CORPS Texas is the only program of its kind in the state. We work to accomplish our goals through the implementation of quality technology education programs on school campuses throughout Texas and through the redeployment of quality refurbished computers to schools, organizations and individuals.

Since our launch in May, 2002, TECH CORPS Texas programs, computers and/or volunteers have been in more than 80 schools statewide and redeployed more than 5,000 computers into schools, organizations and to individuals.

TECH CORPS Texas programs are designed to impact the quality of technology education offerings for students and to help ensure the availability of computers in schools, in community-based organizations, and for individuals in need. More information regarding our programs and services can be found via the links below.


TECHie Club an exciting program designed to introduce elementary students to technology and all its possibilities. The program includes hands-on, interactive activities tied directly to national technology standards for the 3rd-5th grades and focused on the fundamentals of Computer Programming, Robotics, Informatics and Digital Media.

The Computers For Kids program that provides high quality, donated computers to schools that meet or exceed district technology standards, come with a 1 year break/fix warranty; and are delivered direct to your campus for a nominal refurbishing fee that helps to offset the programs cost. (This program may not be available in all districts, and supplies are limited)

Techie Camp is a full-day, week-long technology experience designed specifically for elementary and middle school students. The goal of Techie Camp is to engage students in activities that can stimulate a deeper interest in technology; as well as provide opportunities for them to express their imaginations. Techie Camps are offered at a variety of locations between June 11, 2012 and August 10, 2012.

The Student TECH CORPS program that trains and certifies middle and high school students in multiple aspects of technology, including computer hardware, software, networks, peripherals, the internet, and professionalism, then harnesses their knowledge to power a Student-Run Help Desk that allows students to provide valuable technical support in their own schools through supervised service learning activities.

The Community Help Desk program engages students in an intensive curriculum that prepares them to succeed in the global workforce through technology education coursework, supervised service learning activities, and educational pathways and career exploration. The Community Help Desk is currently offered as a summer program only.
