As technology becomes increasingly ubiquitous and powerful, it is important for all of us to embrace technology's convenience. The Human Tech Project aims to use the technical expertise of their experienced employees to spread passion for STEM and teach necessary skills in the Information Age, from automating tasks with code to downloading eBooks. In the summer of 2017, their founders, Arnav Garg and Joseph Zhang, started by instructing basic programming courses in their local library when they recognized a need to further their impact to a global scale. Three years later, the organization has expanded rapidly. With chapters around the globe, The Human Tech Project holds summer camps involving all demographics. Classes range from their popular Python course designated for middle schoolers to their comprehensive eBooks class which teaches the elderly how to navigate their library's eBook interface. In an effort to promote innovation and STEM proficiency among the youth, The Human Tech Project recently organized a global high school hackathon, Cuper Hacks, which raised $11,000 for prizes and had over 200 attendees. All of their proceeds go to constructing a computer resource center in Uganda. Additionally, The Human Tech Project is proud to be a center of innovation from the youth. One of the most impressive projects made by high schoolers, CoronaCrypt, outlines a privacy-preserving contact tracing application to slow the spread of the highly contagious coronavirus.
