Technology Without Borders is a student driven group that connects it's members with technology related needs within the community.Not-For-Profit SupportOne of the ways that TWB reaches out to communities is by providing support to existing not-for-profit organisations. There are many not-for-profit organisations doing amazing work to lift people out of poverty and provide assistance to the greater community. TWB members are looking at ways to partner with the organisations to provide skills in technology business processes.TWB InitiativesTWB also organises a number of initiatives directly. These include technology projects involving education and hands on workshops or simply providing community members an opportunity to experience technology they would otherwise not have access to (for example the 180 Project with Operation Stitches Inner City kids).Internal DevelopmentOur members are constantly gaining experience by interacting with the community as well as managing and being responsible for IT projects. We also take every opportunity to provide professional development to our members through participation in industry conferences and regular meetings with academic mentors.
