After-school programs offer far more than a place for students to go once the final bell rings. High-quality programs are a proven strategy for improving academic performance, building life skills, and enhancing emotional well-being. At Teach Me Technology (TMT), our after-school offerings are carefully designed to empower students through exploration, collaboration, and creativity—all essential components of a modern, whole-child approach to education.

In an increasingly digital world, technological literacy is as fundamental as reading and math. By the time students reach middle school, they should be equipped with essential tech skills that will not only prepare them for academic success but also for the demands of a modern workforce. The top five tech skills every child should learn by middle school include basic coding, digital literacy and internet safety, proficiency with productivity software, keyboarding and typing, and critical thinking through computational skills.

In today’s fast-changing world, Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math—better known as STEM—are more important than ever. But STEM enrichment isn’t just about preparing students for the jobs of tomorrow. It’s about helping them thrive today. At Teach Me Technology, we believe every student deserves access to hands-on STEM experiences that spark curiosity and build a foundation for future learning.
