– Design Your Revolution –

THE IDEA REVOLUTION IS NOW

We are a team of consciouspreneurs building the school of the future. We equip low-opportunity students of color across America with the tools to empower themselves and change their worlds with technology.

Our pipeline teaches students to:

themselves as well as a local or global problem they care about

solutions to present challenges facing themselves and their communities

their solution into a viable entrepreneurial plan of action

OUR CHALLENGE: A BROKEN PIPELINE

The United States is facing a serious challenge with regards to meeting the demands of a fast-growing tech sector while a rapidly changing demographic outlook predicts that Blacks and Latinos will account for 42% of the total American population by 2040. Yet, current trends in tech sector participation rate show Blacks and Latinos overwhemingly underrepresented. Here is a snap shot of some of the challenges Enza is taking on.

2/5 BLACK CHILDREN ARE RAISED IN POVERTY

1/3 LATINO CHILDREN ARE RAISED IN POVERTY

THE BLACK GRADUATION RATE IS 69%

THE LATINO GRADUATION RATE IS 75%

ONLY 9% OF TECH PROFESSIONALS ARE BLACK OR LATINO
