- (1888PressRelease) October 21, 2011 - Edmond, OK - TechJOYnT L3C, the first L3C company operating in the State of Oklahoma, is seeking strategic alliances to promote science and technology (STEM initiatives) in Oklahoma for ages 6-14.
TechJOYnT delivers curriculum to reinforce traditional science, technology, engineering and mathematics education. The organization offers families, students, and mentors the opportunity to learn engineering and entrepreneurship concepts through hands-on robotics projects. Programs are offered at local libraries and community centers.
Community Technologists at techJOYnT reinforce the Math & Science learned from school and engage kids in fun Engineering activities to foster Innovation at an early age with household gadgets.
TechJOYnT periodically holds free community events called "iKIDS iNNOVATE FORWARD" at local libraries to introduce STEM concepts through robotics. These events provide an opportunity to preview program offerings before they are released. Joining the program will cost about as much as being part of an athletics camp and will allow families enjoy the hi-tech skills of the future. This has been made possible by local support from organizations such as The Div and Nowsoft, which have made STEM education a priority during early learning years.
