About Us
Tech I.T. Up is a technology education program designed for children. It seeks to provide exposure to informational technologies with a hands-on approach in a fun and uplifting environment.
We provide the tools and resources to explore concepts in reverse engineering that gain knowledge of how and why technology exists and works. By utilizing muscle memory, clear goals with proper guidance, and a constant reference to the great Creator, we hope to instill talents and skills that they can develop for a lifetime.
You may have noticed that Technology, or “TECH” is an acronym in our name. That was on purpose, as many things in God’s plan are.
- T is for teaching, our primary goal, which is what we hope to do well.
- E is for education which is what we hope to allow them to develop on and provide an opportunity to capitalize on.
- C is for creativity, which is what we hope to foster and instill.
- H is for helping hands, which is what this world needs more of until…His return.
We are non-profit dedicated to the education of children in a positive and uplifting environment. We welcome volunteers, donations of equipment and money. We operate under the 501c-3 status of First United Methodist Church of Grand Junction.
