From using tech to creating with it

Hands-on projects that help young people become creators and problem-solvers, not only consumers of technology.

Three young people, one with a white cane, make a video with a laptop and a camera on a tripod.

Who it is for

Young people who want to learn how technology and media work, and families looking for a safe, supportive place to do it.

Access to a screen is not the same as knowing how to use technology well. Open Eyes introduces young people to technology, media and STEM in ways that are engaging, hands-on and right for their stage of growth.

Children of all abilities, including those with disabilities, are welcome. We meet each child where they are.
