Timberline High School's "Tech Buddies" program is a powerful example of how the Boise School District is delivering on its strategic commitment to providing all students equitable opportunities to access and succeed in district programs. Through this initiative, high school students mentor younger kids at local grade schools, teaching them coding and inspiring a love for technology.
By guiding the younger generation through hands-on projects, high schoolers gain valuable leadership and communication skills, while elementary students develop critical thinking and problem-solving abilities. More than just a tech program, "Tech Buddies" breaks down barriers to STEM education, ensuring that all students—regardless of background—can engage in meaningful learning experiences that prepare them for the future.
This program fosters lasting connections, builds technical and soft skills, and creates a collaborative community where both mentors and mentees grow together. "Tech Buddies" is shaping the future of technology and student success—one lesson at a time.
