Our Story
What began as a simple opportunity to teach coding to a group of 20 under-resourced students in Washington, D.C. quickly turned into a mission. Tim Weedon, faced with the challenge of a coding class that was too advanced for his students, recognized the need for a more supportive learning environment. After taking coding classes himself and attending Saturday tech boot camps, Tim was determined to equip these students with essential coding skills.
Since 2018, Tech Turn Up has expanded its reach, providing STEAM education to over 350 students primarily in Wards 2, 7, and 8. The focus is on creating positive interactions and fostering a love for learning in science, technology, engineering, art, and math.
