Omaha Nonprofit AIM Institute (aiminstitute.org) was recently awarded with a $25,000 grant from Meta. The grant will go towards AIM’s Youth in Tech program for students in the Papillion La Vista Community School District, located in Sarpy County near Meta’s data center.
Youth in Tech sparks curiosity and builds foundational tech skills during critical interest-forming ages to lay the foundation for a stronger, more diverse tech community for years to come. Through fun, hands-on activities such as drone piloting, 3D printing, robotics and basic coding, Youth in Tech cultivates long-term interest in technology and encourages inquisitiveness about tech careers.
