The group empower men of color between the seventh and 11th grades who are from low-income communities to become technology entrepreneurs. Since 2010, they have used the concept of developing strong teams as a way for our young men to learn about collaboration, ideation, coding, and long-lasting life skills. In small teams, our youths learn the process of taking an idea from concept to market.

The group uses coding as the catalyst that can take young men of color and turn them into technology leaders who build positive communities. TXT says computer programming is the tool that helps our teens learn how to learn, to develop discipline, and to build self confidence.
