I volunteered for a nonprofit called Revitalization 2000 in St. Louis last Summer where we held Summer camps for kids (aged 9-13) in the north St. Louis neighborhood called The Ville. We brought along different genres of activities to the camp such as robotics, circuits, drawing, gardening, chess, sports, programming, and more. We noticed that some kids had passions, strong interests, or gifts in certain activities such as drawing, programming, and sports, but they simply did not think about pursuing these things more seriously, nor would their guardians.

For example, a teenage kid was pretty good at drawing, but all he has done was paper drawings. I asked him if ever thought about drawing or designing things digitally, and he said no. He doesn't have a computer at home. I showed him Adobe Illustrator videos on YouTube and he was very interested in it and really wanted to explore more about it. I just then thought about how many kids lost the opportunity to use their talents in the real world just because they didn't have someone letting them know about the new tech that's available to facilitate their passions and skills. If I had the same skill when I was younger, my parents would have pushed me to explore more about Adobe's softwares and other platforms. Many of these kids don't have this kind of support or influence.

Apologies that this is a bit broad and unpolished, but I just want to get it out.

Technologies that are available in the internet are just advancing very fast, and it would be a shame if kids in under-resourced neighborhoods don't get to see it too. Just don't want them to fall behind.

These kids are on social media a lot. They're on all the time. Platforms such as Instagram Reels or Tik Tok influence them a ton. Could leverage this.
