The TechStart Education Foundation

The TechStart Education Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit with a mission to use technology education to strengthen the teamwork, critical thinking, creativity, and problem solving skills of K-12 students and, in so doing, awaken a passion for technology among all Oregon students. The goals of TechStart are to provide professional development and support to Oregon technology educators and to awaken an interest in technology among their students.

TechStart brings industry and education together in a partnership that builds the foundation for tomorrow's workforce. We envision Oregon as a state where students have unsurpassed opportunity to discover and learn about technology, a subject that plays a central role in technical careers, non-technical careers and life in general. This makes Oregon a better place to live, work and raise children. It also reflects a profound alignment, cooperation and working relationship between the technology industry and education sectors.
