Case Studies
The SSF Techbridge Program
SSF hosted the TechBridge program in San Jose, CA, providing high school students with an immersive experience in mobile app development, product design, and marketing. Participants gained hands-on learning through app development workshops, product design sessions, a LatinX in Tech panel, and on-site visits to companies like Gameheads, Intel, and Lucid Motors, equipping them with valuable real-world insights and skills.
The experience culminated in a Lucid Motors showcase, where participants received certificates, and those presenting mobile apps were awarded $100 gift cards, leaving inspired and equipped to explore tech-driven opportunities for positive change.
