CreateMPLS helps to expose students to technology and careers that they may not know exist.  This really holds true to those underserved populations which may not be aware of the extremely rewarding and life sustaining careers that have a high demand for qualified workers with a 2-year affordable degree. The careers students are being prepared for have high income potential which will allow the individual to make enough income to sustain their future and allow them to have the time and ability to positively impact their community.

What makes CreateMPLS special is they didn’t just teach me how to use technology, they made me realize that the ability to use technology had been within me all along. They helped my friends and I recognize our talents and passions, and taught us that no racial, gender or economic barrier could stand in our way.

Coding has been great for the students. We tried this type of program in the past without success, but I feel what createMPLS provides is a great fit and has helped the students feel successful. You have already shown how replicable your programs can be. Thanks for sharing your energy and passion!
