KidsTek is a program of PCs for People that seeks to increase technology literacy among Colorado's underserved youth, particularly in high-need schools, through project-based after-school learning. It delivers free technology education via an extensive curriculum to Colorado schools and youth-service organizations, aiming to support long-term academic, behavioral, and career outcomes. The approach emphasizes hands-on, after-school learning to connect students with practical technology applications and help bridge the digital divide. Based in Denver, Colorado, KidsTek traces its origins to 2004 when researchers from the University of Denver's Colorado Community-Based Research Network studied Colorado's technology gap. As a program of PCs for People, it operates within the education sector and expanded its offerings in 2022 with a CompTIA A+ certification class.
