Rexdale youths' tech dreams given hope
http://www.torontosun.com/2015/08/16/rexdale-youths-tech-dreams-given-hopeHumber College is donating the room space and the rest of the expenses are coming out of pocket from project co-founders Andray Domise and Samuel Allemang.
“Because getting jobs is a huge problem in Rexdale — our unemployment is consistently about 2% to 3% higher — there’s a huge chance to bring tech out here but there’s just never been any program to pull it all together,” Domise said.

The course is open to those 14 to 18 to allow instructors to work with kids in high school or heading to post-secondary, but they’re hoping to open the class to younger and more kids in the next year.
The organizers are looking to set up a field trip with a tech company to give the kids an inside look of the industry. Anyone who wishes to sign up can e-mail 1up@techsdale.ca
