The People of BootUp

Our Values

BootUp exists to expand who gets to create the future of technology, and how.

These values are how we do it.

Hope in Every Learner

We start from the belief that every student can learn computing and AI literacy skills to shape their world.

Courage to Change Conditions

We tackle the policies, prerequisites, pacing, and gatekeeping that keep CS and AI opportunities restricted, and we redesign the conditions so more students can thrive.

Community-Powered Learning

We build with educators, students, and communities because durable change is collective.

Integrity with Accountability

We honor our commitments and share impact results with transparency.

Inclusive by Design

We invite differences in, and we design for belonging and access from the start.

Pragmatic Imagination

We dream bigger possibilities for CS and AI education, then turn them into usable curriculum and professional learning that works in real classrooms right now.

Resilience to Sustain the Work

We sustain educators and teams through challenge and change, building capacity that lasts.

Engaging and fun!

Not only do we try and make the professional development and curriculum engaging and fun, but our work environment and collaborations, as well.
