Tech in Schools Initiative (TSI)

We don’t sell software.We run programs.Inside real schools.

TSI is an education initiative that partners with public schools to deliver STEM, cybersecurity, XR, and AI programs the way they actually land in classrooms: with instructors, hardware, curriculum, and support — not a login link and a good luck email.

Project Based Learning

Giving students the tools to create

Our Tech Program is a full-service education program. We provide access to Web tools and software for both students and teachers, curricula aligned to the common core that is run by experienced industry specialists, and the opportunity to work with really expensive technologies.

Up-to-date curriculum

Innovative technologies including XR, AI, and modern web — not yesterday's worksheets.

Safe & reliable software

We follow DIIT standards and guidelines and are GDPR compliant — built for public schools.

Dozens of web tools

Web builders, creative apps, and premium software students actually use to ship work.

In-person & online instructors

Qualified tech instructors with industry experience — your class runs smoothly either modality.

The age of entrepreneurship

Students learn how to create companies and build products — not just pass tests.

Industry certifications

Students can earn Cisco NetAcad certifications in cyber security and other pathways.

Who we are

Founded in 2016 for New York City public schools— with a model built to scale nationwide.

Too many “STEM initiatives” stop at software licenses. TSI is different: we staff programs, align to standards your district already cares about, and bring the same tools industry uses into rooms where students might otherwise never touch them.

We work alongside teachers and administrators — not around them. Everything we ship is designed to be measurable, inclusive, and compliant with how public schools actually operate.

“Change only happens together.”

Our STEM programs are interactive and engaging. With schools, students, teachers, and TSI working as one cohort, we have helped 8,000+ students access more effective technology education — and we are still growing.
