About
Who We Are ?
Nokidbehind Inc. is a STEM and technology education nonprofit organization committed to ensuring that children and young people and particularly those in underserved and low-income communities are not left behind by the rapid advancement of science and technology. Nokidbehind works to close the digital and STEM opportunity gap by creating micro technology communities where children can access computers, STEM tools, coding education, Career mentorship, AI SAFETY, hands-on learning and emerging technologies.
The organization recognizes that access to technology alone is not enough. As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly embedded in education, communication, search, entertainment and everyday life, children also need the knowledge and skills to understand, evaluate and safely use AI. Nokidbehind is therefore expanding its STEM and digital-literacy work to include AI literacy and AI safety for children, helping young people understand AI capabilities and limitations while developing awareness of privacy, misinformation, bias, manipulation, inappropriate content and other potential risks associated with AI systems.
Our Mission:
Our mission is to break down barriers to STEM education (among Autistic children) by offering high-quality, free, and engaging resources that make learning science, technology, engineering, and mathematics accessible to everyone.
Vision:
Our vision is to create a vibrant, inclusive online platform that empowers individuals of all ages and backgrounds to explore, learn, and excel in STEM fields. By providing accessible educational resources.
What We Do
When we started our activities, we were working from one region to another, and through our feedback we found that several schools are not properly equipped to meet the needs of children as far as technology is concerned. Having difficulty transferring knowledge from one generation to another, as a result, children are affected and insufficient time has been given to teach them basic computer skills and codes. To build intelligence, we have to train our children.
We want to continue to create communities in schools in different regions to impact knowledge to children and secure their future.
We listened to stories from kids who have never had access to a computer and one can already imagine the excitement in their eyes, at the thought of doing so. Because of such stories, it sparked the beginning of our philanthropy and through our partnerships, we are giving back to the community by a means of building computer labs in schools and creating a community around STEM technologies.
In order to achieve these goals, we are also;
- Working with local Organizations to run STEM bootcamps and
- Working with Partners to support our STEM Philanthropy activities.
Once we have resources put together, we identify which community needs our services most.
