TECH INSTITUTE
The revolution will be digitized. Computer programming and web development are 21st century skills that can be used to activate ideas, grow small businesses and build grass-root movements. As a way to counter cyber warfare and address the issues of economic and educational inequality, HandsUpUnited will lead technical training workshops in the Ferguson/Greater St. Louis area.
